Point Guard: Our Achillies Heal??

[wvduck34]

I was wondering what people think about our point guard situation? Is this going
to be a problem all year or will someone step up? There are times Lloyd looks like
the man and at times he seems out of control. Sim hasn't sold me on anything.
What are your thoughts??

i think devoe joseph will answer many of our questions. i think he'll have five games under his belt before pac-12 season starts, hopefully that'll be enough.

[Boom]

Big problem... can't wait for next year.

I think once Lloyd figures out that he's the man and it's his
team to run he will settle down. He has excellent skills and just
needs to get his game under wraps a bit. To me Sim is not a point
guard. He's better spotting up and shooting the ball. It's like when
Porter was put at point guard, not even close. We will be fine. It's a growing
time for these young kids.

Loyd has great speed, but his height, short arms, and lack of a jump shot has hindered him. I think at best he's a change of pace type guy you bring off the bench(on a good team).

i would again stress joseph's presence being a good thing. he's a senior who has been around the block. he's much better than either loyd or sim.

Absolutely. Since he transferred kind of under the radar & there wasn't a ton of hype since he couldn't play, I think people don't realize how good this kid is. He was really good at Minnesota & has NBA potential. And he's been with the team for a year so the transition once he starts playing should be fairly flawless.

Yup, Devoe Joseph should help our situation a lot and then Dominic Artis next year! I'm curious as to what ends up happening at SF, specifically regarding EJ Singler and Carlos Emory. EJ is a known commodity and fan favorite while Emory is just a freak. There is a reason Georgetown, Texas and West Virginia wanted him. I know we aren't there yet, but I can see Emory outplaying EJ as the season progresses and pushing him more minutes and eventually the starting spot.

Forget about Freaks and Athletes,....


EJ is our best player, and it's not close.

i would strongly disagree.

EJ is not getting replaced. He's our only consistent and all around player.
