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.
 
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.

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

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.

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.

The only traditional PG skill YConn needs is a PG with a tight handle who can dribble through pressure.

All other traditional PG skills can be handled by committee.

But you need one kid who can move the ball with the dribble when teams like the Johnnies are overaying every passing lane and making advancing the ball via the pass a royal PITA.

The only joke I see here is you starting this thread. What is up with you? Newton is going to be as good as Cole with a higher ceiling. He may not be the perfect PG but neither was Cole in all reality. And can’t beat 6’5 either and he will get to the hole easier.

Wow what a joke!

Thank you for your interest in UConn basketball, coach!

PG with handle under control for sure but we also improve handling pressure with our size. The whole guard unit is 6’1 to 6’6 and can throw passes over the press as well. No worries.
