Oz has always been an intriguing prospect at point forward; like an amped up Trevor Wiseman (who led some of the fastest breaks last year) with 50% more Range And Accuracy…Forewarned is Forearmed…

Earlier Reports included Michael Harper working to acquire sufficient point guard skills, presumably handles & passing…

Has this switched off with Garett Jefferson, maybe in favor of MH’s speed and shooting at the two,
OR is Harper still working to earn his way into the pg mix?

AND any prospectus for pg minutes for Dyrbe Enos?
i suspect he can be more than a mop-up, spot-duty player, even a five-minute respite for Jace or Manroop with instant offense/firepower versus Jefferson’s Instant Defense Option…

Only after a half season or so can we tell about egos vis-a-vis playing time. Ego is important during time outs as well. I hope this year’s team takes game-time advice better than last year’s.

For all 15 available guys, what is good for them? Nothing is a given, all positions up for grabs at this point(especially since Vander working really hard rehabbing to get ready). So , UH MBB equal opportunity situation. Whomever works hardest, follows coaching direction, if it is PG by committee or situational, really the whole team from wings to bigs, have responsibiltiy to help whomever the PG, even if it were Steve Nash or John Stockon or Magic Johnson, ..the whole team moves and works together, to run O and D systems..

then not as much pressure on ONE guy the PG..howver true, we have seen how a Tom Henderson, Reggie Carter, AC Carter could take over a game,,however, the young guys we have now have to step it up, and you know Brian it is JMO..I think whether, Jace, Manroop, or Jefferson..there is just something about the way this team was put together ,

High Character, No Prima Donnas, ego trippers..they are going to get it done, and hopefully have a fun in post season come March..!! Get well soon Vander!!

We surely miss the potential of Shaq Stokes though…

I remember Gavin Smith from his days at UH…Had a beautiful sheep dog as a pet that he used to bring along with him.

Manroop is a high scoring guard and he can dish it out too. Just look at his film. Trust your eyes. He has a deadly cross over to the left and he lets it fly, but he can go right too and he can take it to the hole too. Whether he is a point guard or shooting guard it doesn’t matter. He will score, either way. He needs to improve on his D, but I’m sure he’s putting in the work. Get start to remember #33. I don’t think he will be redshirting.

Just saw Inside Weekend on KHON after the 10:00 news about a Gavin Smith. Is that the former Rainbow? He disappeared mysteriously, leaving a wife and 3 sons.
