No Point Guard

[coachn]

Word from insiders is we don't have a point guard. With all the excitement about the starting lineup we don't have a season without a point guard.
What would last season have been without Cole? The Greeks aren't paying him because he's a. Smuck. Best point guard in BE last year will be sorely missed without a ball handling replacement for him.
Jackson and Hawkins haven't ever shown they can replace Cole.

Wasn’t that the whole point of getting Newton and Diarra? Huh?

 

[coachn]

They haven't shown any point guard skills to anyone and nobody is talking about it.
We go nowhere without someone who can be that man --an extension of the coach on the floor with superb ball handling skills. Not Jackson or Hawkins from what I have observed.
Not Newton or Diarra. What a joke.

These look like point guard stats to me:

Tristen Newton - Men's Basketball - East Carolina University Athletics

Tristen Newton (2) Guard - AS A SOPHOMORE (2020-21) Game-By-Game Statistics Played in 17 games and made 16 starts, averaging 31.4 minutes per game Averaged

You must be a “super casual fan”

Maybe you should follow the team more cause this is one of the dumbest posts that I’ve seen in a while. Newton was a first team all AAC point guard and he’s 6’5”, Diarra played for Texas A&M(?) last year and is a more than capable backup at point guard and Jackson will fill the role of point forward.

you make no sense. think hard before posting again

 

[willie99]

Great, just like the C's. They can't win with Marcus Smart as their PG

Closer to home, ain't that what Seth Davis used to say about T Brown?

I'm seeing Good Omen here

East Carolina and TA&M players have no idea what it takes to win a NANY.

Last year's lineup was a loser.

Troll better

I'll reserve judgment until I can discern if there's a pattern, but this does look promising.

 

[QuickDraw]

The insiders I talk to seem to believe that we are thin up front also

 

[Waquoit]

NANY?

 

[QuickDraw]

NANY?

 

[navery12]

I think you're confusing insiders with the voices inside your head

 

[UCSouth]

East Carolina and TA&M players have no idea what it takes to win a NANY.

With that logic neither do any of the current players.

89.5% free throw shooting may be the stat that makes me the happiest.

Somebody tied one on last night/this morning, good god.

 

[BlueMAB]

East Carolina and TA&M players have no idea what it takes to win a NANY.

1) What's a "NANY"?
2) Which player on UConn's roster won a "NANY"?

Word from insiders is.we don't have a point guard.

Which insiders? You got a quote?

Just because Newton hasn't been the first name mentioned of people excited with the team doesn't mean we "don't have a PG."

Either way, even if Newton is half a PG and Jackson is half a PG, we're going to be fine. It's not hard for 6'5"+ guys to make an entry pass into Adama. Or dribble top of the key and make a pass to Hawkins curling around a screen.

 

[HuskyHawk]

This reads like wishful thinking from a Syracuse fan troll. Unfortunately for Cuse fans UConn PG is in great hands. No worries at all.
