Stating that WL should come off the bench is before Charonn is a little misleading. WL is most certainly higher than Woods on the depth chart. But WL is not a PG. It's scary when he runs the offense, and I don't want him doing it - at least at this point in his career. Woods comes in to try to get the offense back in to a more disciplined rhythm, the opposite of what WL brings. Also, anyone that has seen Woods play knows that he could be playing D-1 ball with heavy minutes in the OVC or another 'medium' mid-major. I don't think WL should be starting because he takes plays off on defense like TB did his freshman year. Not because he's not trying, just mental mistakes. I think this is very correctable(TB did it!), but until then I don't want to have WL start over DSE and run the point or have him start over our best on-ball defender.

Where the hell this come from:? He's appeared in 2 games in very little time and Done Nothing:!: He shouldn't even be playing:!: Lord have Mercy:!:
And thats all I have to say on that subject
Geeeee's:roll:But I do agree with you on WL is no point guard and should not be starting, :!:
As far as DSE at the point, from what I have seen, Lord have Mercy too:!:
I should have clarified myself a little further. I don't want WL as the pg if he starts either. Why not try DD at point guard. He may be uncomfortable at pg, but he should be able to run the offensive sets by now. Sooner rather than later, teams will start keying on AW as he is our one legitimate offensive threat. If we have WL in the lineup, we at least have another player that they have to keep an eye on. After a 4 assist 19 turnover game, I think that we need to experiment with lineups.

I Like it! DD could bring some good leadership there and he had a pretty high 3 point % a couple years ago. He does know the system better than WL and DSE:!: DSE is struggling and maybe better for us off the bench:| It's to bad, MK could not fill the 3 for us
It's also to bad we have kept AT around so long:!: I watched him on the bench and it's my opinion he could care less:roll:

Let's face it. It's kinda of hard to have an offense when all you have is one consitent threat. AW can't do it by himself and with no discernable offensive system that I can see that's when it breaks down to what I call the throw up a shot and hope it goes in offense. With no true point guard it doesn't matter who's in there this is the offense we are. Unless JL actualy puts some time and effort into practicing offense nothing will change.
What I want to see. We need to go back to a simple pick and roll with DSE and WL handling the ball. Set a few low screens for AW to free him up. Teach WE that when he has the ball in the post he may want to look for an open guy on the wing once in awhile. This team needs to get back to the basics offensive scheme and find another 3 point threat so they can create space where WL and DSE can be very effective driving in.

I have to disagree. They are both finishers and what they need is a bit more space to operate and they'll be able to score or find an open guy ala Stockton and Malone. Back to basics is what I would do.

It's got to the point they drive everytime they get the ball:!: They never drive and dish as Stockton did:!: I think they drive because they either don't have a stop and pop shot or they are not out of their High School play yet:? But at this point after what I have seen the last two home games, I agree with you, Back to the basics:!:
Simple Answer: Donivine Stewart
DD played full time point guard at Brewster Academy and at the junior college level. I assume the reason he hasn't done it here is because he's the biggest true "guard" in the lineup and the only scoring threat of the guards outside of SM (assuming AW is a forward). Thinking back to 08-09 EM was 6'0, DN was 6'0, and SM was 6'1. Outside of SM he was the only scoring threat. This year there was SM and Dyricus is 6'1. While Walt is around the same size he cannot run the PG. DD is more suited as a PG IMO but will need to get more comfortable with the position in this system as its been about 3 years since he's run the position.

Well, unless DS turns out to be All American as a freshman, BU would have stunk up the joint next year too, without SM or DD on the roster. JL rolled the dice on McCain and Norris and crapped out on both of them. The program is now suffering as a result.
It is not going to be that simple. DS is definately going to help us in the ball handling and passing game. That is a plus. But he is going to be below average in other areas early in his Bradley career. He lacks true quickness, struggles as a defender, and is not a good shooter from the outside or free throw line. He is going to be like 90% of all incoming freshmen. He should show flashes of his potential some games and make you want to pull out your hair in others.

He is a lot better then that, just because he has slumped some I have faith that he will get it turned around, he is not slower , I think it is the opposite in that he is rushing things because he is trying to hard to make something happen instead of slowing down and being more in control , Everyone including the pro"s run into slumps, he will come out of it and be a good player this season because he is talented.
