There's no doubt he may get better...but to have 0 assists is just unacceptable for a starting point guard even in November.
I do not disagree with that.

6-1? That's not good enough. This team better not lose the rest of the way.
I know this is stating the obvious, but it seems like it needs to be said: Losing to good teams on the road in preseason does not hurt your tournament chances.
This is not about rust, it is more about being smart on the court and facilitating the rest of the team. Three point attempts from 35 feet are worth no more than those around the perimeter. No steals is a surprise. So few assists is a surprise especially when you have a Tyrus, Percy, Will and Niang to shoot after the assist pass. At this point, we could play Mcbeth and be no worse off.Without reading the whole thread...I'll point out that Lucious sat out the last year and a half. If you recall, it took Royce a while to get into the flow as well.
Actually, it does. Just not much. One was a neutral court, by the way.I know this is stating the obvious, but it seems like it needs to be said: Losing to good teams on the road in preseason does not hurt your tournament chances.
KL is probably on a trial basis now. Clyburn could be our point guard when the conference season starts.
Korie Lucious will improve as the season progresses..

So, in the NC A&T game he had 9 assists and 1 TO. Then we play back to back Top 25 teams and they put the clamps on him. My take is that the competition was so far above what we had played previously, that he really struggled against the upgrade in defensive talent. Let's hope what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
If I remember correctly, we lost to Drake and UNI pre-conference last year. Everyone was throwing up in their mouths. CFH got things straightened out good enough for ISU to go dancing. I'm willing, at this point, to give the coaches a chance to coach.
