I read the article twice and I'm not sure if he's referring to a point guard or just your best guard. Because I think we can all agree that in no way is Ball a point guard. Anyway, he puts UConn in a group who has both returning in Ball and Reed. Some of these are a huge stretch. Duke with Caleb Foster (not a point guard either) and Patrick Ngongba? Foster averaged 14.1 mpg and 4.9 ppg. Ngongba averaged 10.5 mpg and 3.9 ppg. If that's experienced returners then every team in the country (well except Xavier!) has experienced returners.

For reference, 32 high-major clubs returned north of 50% of their minutes ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.
