About half a paragraph on the PG depth chart got accidentally eaten in my editing process - just got added back in. Apologies!

YESSSSS thanks for answering my question! I'd also like to point out that Write for California's very own fearsome Kodiak, or Dr. Periodic Table if you will, is in fighting shape these days, and there is video evidence.

My home-thought-up solution for the point guard issue is that Matt Bradley gets like 10 minutes as the primary ball handler. He's the focal point of the offense anyways - could he be a version of James Harden?

Things don't look good for basketball.

I do hope we shoot more threes and give Bradley some room. Last season he often had two defenders in his face daring him to shoot. If we can develop another 3-pt shooter or two this will reduce the pressure on him, actually freeing him up to be even more effective than he already is. Also, I hope Joel Brown is working on his free throws right now.

Thanks for the article, Nick. Compiling a roster full of shooters & then basically not allowing them to shoot is tantamount to coaching malpractice...hopefully we had enough of this in the MBB’s corner of Haas with the previous incompetent regime. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, from a “3-point shooting attempt” perspective, Fox’s track record is like the Mitchell family name in TOP-GUN’s Navy (I.e. not the best). We shall see...
