Maze likely at point guard; Prince gets MRI on shoulder

[k-sny-vol]

Thats good to hear Wooldridge is coming along.. he even thought he might be a starter.. he must be pushing Prince for PT ! thats good news.. i love the fact that we have a stud in Tatum coming off the bench.. along with Williams.. he's gonna beast it up this year

I really hate the thought of seeing JP at point. I just do not see that being his game based on what I've seen of him. He just doesn't value the ball enough. His ball handling and passing can be very sloppy at times. His strength seems to be slashing to the rim.

What other option do we have? The fact that West's eligibility is up in the air means we will have to deal with a healthy dose of JP at the point. I'm more worried about what we'll do if Maze goes down, and we're stuck starting JP and then backing him up with someone.

I know. I 'll be ready to cringe. I hope he's gotten better at the point, ball handling and passing. It's not as bad if the guards are playing off him but if they are applying pressure and trapping, well we got to see that last year and it wasn't pretty.

who else could play the point?

hopefully we won't need anyone else but you never know..

Out 3-5 weeks. If West isn't cleared then we have a serious problem at the backup PG position. There aren't any other options.

Rumors going around that it is really bad. However, that seems to always go around when someone gets hurt.

Really worried about the lack of a backup point guard. That's going to be an issue.

I hope Prince gets better but if he doesnt that means Woolridge may even start the first exhibition game if Tatum is still out.. Probably not tho, i can see Tabb starting at the 2 and Scotty at the 3 or Tyler at the 3 and Chism and Williams down low

If I were a betting man, those minutes will go to Josh Tabb with Tyler Smith logging some time as the primary ballhandler in the halfcourt.

You should be. A major issue.

Damn. PG was our nemesis down the stretch last year and, unless Maze is just unbelievable, could be the downfall again.

It's Kenny Jackson time!!.. yall dont know nothing about Kenny Jackson

Losing 2 pg's in 2 weeks. Unbelievable. Well, at least we will get to see all the newbies play some significant minutes at the beginning of the year. Might be a blessing come tourney time. A few losses early might not give us the draw we want in March though.
