To me it seemed like their connection faded out shortly after conference play started. Tyrese is an amazing passer but he never came off screens very tight. I think George needs to improve his screening too.

The 10.5 sample size is not adequate compared to 8 seasons of obvious data.
My solution to address an obvious need has some question marks but it's a better solution than bringing in a kid who was run off by a non P6 program, who doesn't address the obvious offensive need based on 2 seasons at that program and clearly didn't address the need for immediate defensive perimeter length (while compromising Prohm's stated desire to successfully switch all perimeter matchups).
He didn't even choose Harris over Buggs, he could have had both of those guys if he wanted. He only wanted one of them.

i posted that this morning. Must have gotten lost in the great drew buggs debate today
I missed it here. Seen it over on 247.i posted that this morning. Must have gotten lost in the great drew buggs debate today
I lol'd at your point we shouldn't want Harris because he comes from the American while we should have wanted Buggs, who comes from the Big West. The American is a way superior conference to the Big West.
For context, the American was the #7 best conference nationally last year by SRS.
The Big West was #19.
Merrill Holden came from Louisiana Tech in C-USA. That was the #13 conference last year.
Jeff Beverly came from UT-San Antonio, which is also in C-USA.
Prentiss Nixon came from Colorado State in the Mountain West, which was the #9 conference last year.
Buggs is from a conference that is a step down even the weak conferences those guys came from.
Your "obvious need" is only obvious if you have a mentality about basketball offenses appropriate for decades long gone. It is not even a correct reading of how Prohm prefers to use his PGs.
A Prohm PG is not just a "distributor," but a high-usage guy actively looking to create for himself and others. Canaan and Payne led his Murray State teams in usage and scoring. Prohm converted Monté from a distributor who mostly deferred to Niang and the other scorers on the roster to a high-usage combo guard and who led the team in scoring his senior year, even over powerful offensive threats like Naz, Burton, and Matt hunting their own shots.
Nick was used aggressively, and so was Haliburton, in this role. And so was Bolton, who I would probably guess is going to do the most initiating and creation for us on offense next year.
I have no idea how you think a guy who wasn't very good in the Big West and absolutely cannot shoot (his 35.6% TS against Top 100 foes and 15.0% against Top 50 foes are just obscene) is going to fix any problems for us.
For the record, I agree with you. I was responding to the posters note on Prohm should’ve taken buggs over Harris.
Damn. Here I thought this thread was about ‘21 BB recruiting. Silly me.
that just buggs me.
that just buggs me.
Prohm is monitoring this dude.

but 'skill and 'skill set' are not the same thing... you can possess a skill set but not be very skilled at it. I do trust Prohm's player evaluation, hope he can get the team playing better, after seeing the KenPom rankings and a lot of young players it could be brutal
Interesting to hear Javon talk about being a point guard in practice, as well as creating for his teammates.
Agree with you on Nixon. Let’s be honest though, no coach bats 1000 with recruits. Prohm track record for getting PGs to the league should speak for itself though.
I figured that Prohm would be “manufacturing” a point guard this year (until Hunter gets here), unless Walker was ready. With a stiff knee, apparently that’s not the case.
Didn’t we hear whispers about Johnson at point last season?

Yes. Somebody (CW or JS) reported he was the PG for the scout team/being potentially groomed for that.
I think it's more accurate to say Javan J will facilitate some from the wing.
Seems like it was a focus for him to develop those skills in his sit out year. I'd think it's a stretch to call him a point guard though.

I think he will play the Royce White Point Forward roll. He won't be Royce White but I think he will start and run the offense through out the game.

Weird that a kid with KU and UK offers is an unrated three star. I watch some videos and he has a really nice shot! Wonder how mutual the interest is?
I’m trying to figure out why all the talk about Buggs. Water under the bridge. Let’s move on.
I am trying to figure out why you brought Buggs up again
