Guess that is understandable. DJ and Molinar are going to start, just a matter of whether they play the 1&2 or the 2&3. If DJ isn't going to the 3 then D. Smith won't be starting.

Well DJ better improve his ball handling skills a lot this offseason...

Legit possibilities - either one would be a huge pick up!

The main problem I have with DJ's dribbling is when he gets into traffic he starts dribbling the ball very low and it almost always ends up stolen because it hits off someone's leg or he just loses the dribble because of the traffic.

Seems like the plan to run a 4 around 1 may have changed then (which would make sense if the Brooks rumors come to fruition), since DJ is just the kind of 3 you want in that set.

I just don't think this is a huge loss. While he was very athletic, for a PG, D Smith's ball handling skills were very mediocre and his shooting wasn't that great either. I'm willing to roll the dice on an upgrade

We are looking at a couple of pg's in the transfer portal- hopefully we pick one of them up. I do not like Stewart running the point...
But that lineup is stacked. Definitely a tourney caliber team...

You boys are 17 IDIOTS if you think we can win with stewart at pg. Ain't gonna happen... And make a run in the tournament? Pls. We ain't gonna win 💩 here with Howland and his pathetic offense. Couldn't break a press in December nor end of March. That's coaching.
Fire & retire his butt now... Otherwise, we r gonna see the same old song again next year. Just like we have every year he has been here.... No coaching & no leadership...

D. Smith leaving is not ideal but should be the easiest position to replace. There are lots of quick ball handlers out there. Smith shot 27.9% from 3 and 61% from FT and nothing about his form made me think that number was going to skyrocket anytime soon. With the way the game is trending, give me a 40% shooter from 3 at PG who makes the routine play rather than the more explosive player who can't shoot. Also, D. Smith could not stay in front of Boogie Ellis on D so not losing much on that side of the ball.

Not that I'm necessarily a fan of DJ running the point, but you don't seem to realize that's where he was playing towards the end of the season when we played some of our best games.
