Ed was ready to get a dime anywhere on the court and you best be ready for that bullet pass or easy lob. No look was common.Give me another Easy Ed. He'd be just what this team needs.

Amen to that, brother. Amen to that.I hope that Butter and 7th and whoever else is looking to play point next season speed alot of time together this summer!!
Some good points, except Joel was not a Combo --- he came outta the womb as a PG, and the fact he was a scorer did nothing to change that.I would argue that there isn't really a "typical" Roy PG, other than most are very coachable but even there it is not always true, see Drew, Ty was a knuckle head when it came to doing what Roy was trying to get him to do, Nate pulling off so many break ops, and I do think at times Roy was not overly happy with some of Joel's early clock heat checks.
Under Roy, we have had a good number of combo guards IMO that played the point, I would offer Joel, Marcus, Nate, Bobby, Drew, Dexter, 7th as examples. We have as well more what i consider traditional PGs in Ray, Ty, and kendal. Just in the way I see a kid as a combo does not mean he can not play the point but I as well see a lot of 2 guards that are not guys I want at the point, like Kenny, NATE, or Wayne.
Why do you think Roy didn't list Andrew as someone who would get a chance at point? I was a little surprised at that omission.I hope Andrew will get a fair crack at PG. He absolutely has the right instincts.
If Seventh followed Justin Jackson's routine (thousands of 3-point shots) would he become a good shooter, or is there some problem with his shot (or some other problem)?
He actually has mentioned it (on his own, since the media doesn't tend to put Andrew in the mix in their questions), although I am still skeptical he'll get the chance.Why do you think Roy didn't list Andrew as someone who would get a chance at point? I was a little surprised at that omission.
Not necessarily so.Spacing, pace, etc are important, but next year's team will seriously lack shot creation. An offense without players who can create shots (in the post or off the dribble) with struggle. Next year's team needs someone at PG who can create.
From the (first-hand) intel I've gotten on him, 7th can be a dangerous (albeit streaky) deep shooter. I'm sure you can see where the streakiness comes from just by watching --- his mechanics have a hitch. Now, some of the mechanical stuff is not gonna change, but if he gets his confidence up he can still be an effective shooter. Although we haven't seen it much in games, the kid has some natural scoring chops.If Seventh followed Justin Jackson's routine (thousands of 3-point shots) would he become a good shooter, or is there some problem with his shot (or some other problem)?
Francis reminds me of Mateen Cleaved.I just wish Francis was coming in 2018. That kid is going to be an excellent PG. I saw a video of him playing in a scrimmage last fall (pre-injury). He's built and plays like a fullback. Great handles too.
He is the next great UNC PG in my opinion.
Hopefully without the off-court baggageFrancis reminds me of Mateen Cleaved.
Count me as not worried about PG. Roy will figure it out.
We won’t be a title contender next year.... it’d take Woods doing a complete 180 for that to become possible. Even then, I still have concerns about our post rotation.
Technically, everyone in the tourney is “competing” for the title. I don’t think we’ll be a contender, not with a freshmen combo guard and/or Woods running point. And not with developmental bigs still growing into their roles.Nas, Cam, Kenny, Luke, Coby are more than enough to compete for a title.
Ummm, but I’m sure you would consider dook a contender.Technically, everyone in the tourney is “competing” for the title. I don’t think we’ll be a contender, not with a freshmen combo guard and/or Woods running point. And not with developmental bigs still growing into their roles.

Yes, and make every excuse imaginable when the season ends.Ummm, but I’m sure you would consider dook a contender.
I never brought up Dook, you did. They’re obviously living in your mind rent free since they have nothing to do with this topic and you still bring it up.Ummm, but I’m sure you would consider dook a contender.
