I disagree with you on Nixon being our best option and we should start and play him. He's a dud. He's ok on defense, but look at those numbers on offense. 1-10 shooting (and none of them were good looks) and 4 registered TO (I'd say he is responsible for Young's TOs). AND THOSE STATS DON'T REFLECT HOW AWFUL HE WAS.
The worst part about it is his performance did not come as a surprise to ISU fans. It may have actually been expected. Thank you for being a cyclone, Prentiss.
Prohm has the tough task at finding the right PG for the job. The only knock on Prohm last nigh was leaving Nixon in, but who else do we have? He tried to use Bolton last night, but he's turnover prone and a ball hog, too. Jackson is too good of a shooter to have him as PG.
Am I crazy to say we should give Grill some run at PG? Probably, but his effort last night was impressive and something clicked. I trust him to do his best at distributing and I'm not cringing the whole time that he's going to heave up trashy shots. If he is any good at Pick&Roll with a drive/kick, START HIM NOW. I don't know if he is though.
We have hope for the future with the freshman, Bolton, Young and Conditt. They played tough.
