I was at the Samford game and kept saying don't let that guy shoot - I will take him!

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but neither Hill or Long have played PG at the college level and neither really project as a PG.

vcu lost their coach and entire team, yet they glazed for no reason.

Hill had a 24.3 assist % last year at Ball State, so he projects as interesting *in emergency break glass here* type of guy.

Kory Mincy is going to be PG1. I have no doubt about that.

If nothing else it shows Hill is a willing passer, which bodes well for a team with so many new players. Last thing this group needs is somebody hogging the ball and pissing off everyone else.

Long has played some PG like minutes from the footage I saw. Think of him more like a Maddox. Maddox would bring the ball up maybe 3-4 times a game.

PG will be Mincy and O'connor, and hopefully we bring in another guy to either be 1b or our "3rd string" like Quigley.

I think Kaufman nailed it.

Mincy will start at PG, with O'Connor as our PG2 (sliding over from SG when Mincy takes a breather). Hill can be a secondary ball handler when he's on the court, keeping the ball moving.

If this is how the PG rotation shakes out, I think it could really help BOC develop even further as a defender.

He came from UMass-Lowell with a good reputation as a defender, and I think he played really good off ball perimeter defense, at times, last year. If he has more of an opportunity to focus on that part of his game he could take a step forward and become an elite defender in the A-10.

BOC and Long will likely have to fill JB’s defense/dirty work role because they’re both tough, experienced guys who know Tony’s system and can guard the better wings.

Honestly I see Brayden as by far our most important player for next season. He’s gonna be asked to do a lot to help get all of these new guys on the same page.
