How many are point guards that will be playing in 2019-20?X-Expert wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 8:39 amSteele is doing a great job getting in with all these recruits. My concern is that X is loaded with guards and Smith and Teague are both guards. Next year X will have Goodin, Scruggs, Harden, Kennedy, and Castlin. The following year add Curtis and possibly Smith or Teague. that would be seven guards. X will either be determined to play very small or Steele is seeing something else happening (i.e. transfer). that is just a guess but seems strange how many 6'2-6'4 players X is targeting.
Was wondering same thing MM. They would have Scruggs and Goodin who are true PGs and I believe Curtis is a PG too but could be wrongShadow wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 10:06 amHow many are point guards that will be playing in 2019-20?X-Expert wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 8:39 amSteele is doing a great job getting in with all these recruits.

Point taken that Castlin may be gone but absolutely do not agree that teams need 3 PGs. Until conference, Goodin probably played 75% of game at point and Scruggs spelled him. Once conference season started, Scruggs got more playing time moving Goodin go the 2. However, they never had a 3rd PG. I understand having an emergency PG (i.e. JP experiment when Sumner got hurt)roster wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 1:52 pmCastlin will be here one year, so that leaves "six for two years out". It's also likely one or two of them gets some time at the wing. And you really need three point guards. If someone sprains an ankle or gets the flu, you still have two who can share the 40 minutes of a game.
i understand that all teams will have an emergency type PG. JP rarely ran PG except for maybe a few sets. a few times he brought ball up then handed to Scruggs or Goodin. A team will get 2 PGs and one of them (i.e Goodin) will play the 2 in some cases. No true PG with real talent will accept going on a team as a 3rd string PG.Biggernlife wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 11:25 pmExpert, You really need 3 point guards. If only one of them (or 2) is a combo 1-2 then it works as well. But why do you think we saw Macura running the point several times the past two years? We really need 3 capable guys for a point guard
How many minutes effectively should a point guard play? I say max of 26. Gives us more protection to fight off injuries, fouls and off nights. Additionally we could apply more defensive pressure having more pt guards. Just my opinion> .... Bigger
