Doesn't matter who is the PG, when the other 4 (Thurston, Lovie, Ginger, Professor) leave poor Gilligan back there by himself all the time.

Agreed and said the same thing in an earlier post. It's like, "gotta get my spot around the 3 point line" mentality. Makes it hard for Domask who isn't a true PG, not that fast/quick.

I think there is simply no high level ballhandler/decision maker on the team. We essentially start all 2's and 3's. Then we really only play Harmon and Goode who are more of the same.
Good, to very good, and one great player but none have never had to be that guy to deal with late game ball pressure and decisions in full and halfcourt.

Maybe they need to try Moretti in spots. He has pretty decent handles and vision and PG instincts.

Moretti does like to shoot.

Will be interesting to see what happens over summer. We will have only one guy who has played starter minutes returning and he is a small forward who can't shoot anything but a layup. Will need to bring in 5 or 6 guys capable of being starters or in rotation.

They'll have very little offense returning... I can see Hansberry, Johnson, Rodgers and a couple veteran transfers starting with Goode and Harris coming off the bench.

Although Underwood hyped him up early in the season, I'm expecting very little from DGL next year.

Moretti can at least alleviate some pressure from Domask, as well as Rodgers, but he has to be able to stay on the court.

DGL unfortunately is simply a stop gap until Fears arrives....hate to say it but that might be the first casualty for us, and Dain may not be far behind. If you think this transfer class was something, next years could be monumental.
