It probably doesn't matter at all since we have 2 point guards.

Yeah I'm probably overthinking it but I expect both to start and think our best lineups are with both on the floor so want to maximize the minutes with Cole/Gaffney playing together

I hear you but even with one of them out of the game we shouldn't really ever have a problem with ballhandling and scoring with Bouknight, Jackson, Martin, and Adams.

I think that's a good point actually, Jackson's passing ability makes me feel a little more comfortable when we have to take one of the PGs off the floor. Even Bouknight and Adams can be at least average at facilitating. Regardless I trust Hurley, he knows way better than me what the team needs

Really not much to worry about if our biggest problem is an inability to keep two point guards on the floor at all times.

Surely a bigger problem is the potential to be pushed around on the inside with an unathletic Carlton, small Whaley, raw Javonte Brown Ferguson, injured Akok, and young Springs.

Yeah I just don't agree with that mindset, in 2020 that's plenty of bigs especially when only 1 of those guys is a threat from outside. Playing 2 of those guys at the same time is a massive disadvantage
 
I would think Ole Miss would have a better than fighting chance and not really sure why outside a bag man. They have gotten a couple of transfers already but no 3' and that is a selling point.

I still think he ends up at Georgia when it is all said and done

I don’t expect both Cole and Gaffney to start. I do think we will play them both at times, but I think Bouk will be at the SG spot to start and somebody else at SF. Not sure if that is Polley, Jackson or Martin (if eligible). Probably Martin if he can play. Bouk, Gaff and Cole together is a lineup I’m not wild about. Small and horrible on defense. I get that everyone loves the offensive potential, but defense matters.

I agree that Jackson will be a point forward player for us. I think we will be fine and offense is the least of our worries. We are going to score. Can we rebound and stop anyone? That concerns me.

Agree with your lineups and analysis. Rebounding and defense are Hurley's strengths as a coach, as they were JC's, he'll have them working hard to improve those. I think we'll see steady progress in those areas over the course of next season. How good we are at start of season depends on how hard the players work, with the COVID shutdowns a lot of player initiative may be needed.

Yeah we've been down this road enough that I know we'll never agree on this. We fundamentally disagree with the construction of a lineup at certain positions

Ha. No doubt about that. It’s all good. We will be entertained assuming there is a season. Hurley will have fun figuring this out.

This is how you end up missing on Jessie Govan AND Diamond Stone. Take the player who wants to come and move on, especially when they're as similar as Nolley and Martin.

And Hurley knows Martin a lot better.
 
Everything so far points to Harris moving down a level to be a #1 option

Ole Miss being so high on transfers lists is laugh out loud funny. Their football team just got busted for boosters paying recruits and now it looks like basketball deserves an investigation as well

It's hard for a top recruit to turn down Kermit Davis............

How do we know we didn’t move on to Martin because we didn’t think we were Nolley’s first choice? The downside of waiting on Nolley was possibly missing on both him and Martin. That would have been a substantial risk.
Expand ...

Somewhere along the line Hurley moved on from Nolley. He pursued Martin, got him to commit, and recently told Borges he's targeting a power forward so it seems likely Nolley's been off the radar for weeks.

Not sure we need a 5'9 150lb PG. You have to be a dynamite scorer at that size, and he never stuck out to me. We'll see what the staff does
Expand ...

8.7 PPG on 36.9% FG shooting, 0.8 Assists and 1.5 turnovers in 21 minutes. Hard to imagine him helping us.
 
memphis has room for nolley without any one having to clear a roster spot so dont think this is necessarily related. they lost 3 guys and only have 1 commitment for 2020 so far
