Wanna see where everyone stands on the issue.

After reading the posts last night it felt like DSE was the front runner...but there are still alot of EM and SM supporters out there.
 
We need Sam's experience and leadership at the point! I believe that DSE has earned more playing time, but as of now, I would bring him off the bench.
 
I vote McCain! :)

Seriously though - Sam is better as a scorer, and I am all for not overloading DSE's plate right now. Let DSE continue to thrive as the 6th man.

So did I! I meant for this poll :D. SM plays better off the ball where he is not asked to drive. DSE is a gamer it appears but I still like the ball in EM's hands at point and if there is anyone that we need to have assert himseld it's AW not one of our PGs.
 
Too early

Too early

I don't think you can tell anything from 2 games. I was fine with the way McCain played last year. I wished he could shoot a little better though. He is off to a slow start and DSE has looked good. I just don't think there is anyway to tell after two games who will be better over the long haul. I like Sam as sixth man for scoring. I think he has trouble guarding because of his quickness. I still think between shooting guard and point he can play as much as the other starters but I think it is between EM and DSE for point. I did not vote(too early).
 
I sure wish EM would learn to stay in front of his man better on defense. He has gotten beat consistently off the dribble so far this year. Nothing has changed from last year in that regard. I'm not bashing him, just stating a fact. Did anyone notice Coach Les pull EM a time or two when he got beat. I did as I was watching his reactions to the various defensive let downs. He pulled WE at least once for the same thing right after he got done putting him in. It just seems like we get beat off the dribble, while at the same time we can't get to the 3 point shooters. We should be able to do one or the other.
 
SM Starts, EM and DSE split backup time at PG. EM is a second year player and his BU experience advantage over DSE may not be too great particularly if DSE had lots of AAU experience vs other top players...
 
At this point I'd love to see AW play most of his minutes at the 2 and CR at the 3. We then can fill in SM and DSE at the 1 and 2 when necessary.

1 - EM 15 mpg, SM 15 mpg, DSE 10 mpg
2 - AW 20 mpg, SM 10 mpg, DSE 10 mpg
3 - CR 25 mpg, AW 10 mpg, TB 5 mpg
4 - TB 25 mpg, WE 10 mpg, MK 5 mpg
5 - WE 20 mpg, SS 10 mpg, AT 10 mpg

Ideally just once I'd love to see this lineup: DSE, AW, TB, WE, AT :lol:

That line-up is toooooo tall for Coach Les. Dream all you want, but we have a coach that loves guard play. He'll recruit some bigs, but they seem to have to split time at the same position (5) even though some of them could play the 4 spot. He's slowly diggin his own grave with that thought process as it has done nothing but give him 4th place or below in the MVC for 7 years and counting. The results speak for themselves. I saw nothing last night that would lead me to believe that anything but 4th place is the highest BU will end up. If we don't land Wilkins next year 4th place or below will be perpetual (it already is). I said it a few years ago and I have not been proven wrong yet.

One question off the topic... Why does it seem like every point guard that plays Bradley is an All-American? Even the guy from Lewis looked good.
 
I voted for Sam (based on his play versus EM so far), but I think a confident, controlled McCain as a starter gives us a better chance to win. I'd love to see SM as the 6th man spark off the bench but EM hasn't shown enough improvement to snatch the starting PG mantle.

As for Simms-Edwards......PLEASE! It's just TOO soon to even think about him as a starter. Let's see him show this same level of play consistently for a few games and, if he does, we can talk "starter" come MVC time.

I predict we will see a 5 guard starting line up from BU before we see a line up with just 2 guards! ;)
 
My how the tables have turned. Amckillip and I were just accused of throwing EM under the bus and saying it was "silly" to even be talking about how EM shouldn't be starting after his performance in the BYU game. Where are they now?
