I think Tai steps it up Wednesday night

We don't need any of our point guards to be elite because Petteway handles the ball half the time anyways. The problem is that neither Tai or Benny can knock down a 3. Tai and Benny are kind of useless on the court right now because they can't shoot. I don't see us consistently winning games until we have a point guard that can knock down a couple 3s. We might be better off with hawkins on the court in crunch time, and let petteway bring the ball up.

 

I would love it if Tai could get his 3 point stroke going, but this post is a pretty one-dimensional look at what a point guard does.  it also ignores MIles' comments about Benny's contributions in the Northwestern game.

 

I wouldn't get too high on parker. He had one decent game against northwestern. Still averaging 1.6 pts a game and has not made a 3 pointer this year. He plays solid on ball defense, but he's only 5'8 which still makes him somewhat limited defensively. And neither Tai or Benny are dishing out assists along with not being able to shoot.

 

Assuming we are playing zone on defesne, I think Hawkins could potentially be our best option over Tai and Benny. Having another guard on the floor that can shoot the 3 would make us almost unguardable on offense. Hawkins seems to be gaining a lot of confidence over the last few games.

 

 

Well, just saying he isn't "useless" isn't necessarily getting too high on him.

Tai will be so much better just because of everything he has experienced this year
