I do agree that both Primo and JJ should be held to the same standard but it's obvious to me that Primo is quite a bit ahead of JJ in his development and understanding of the role of the PG. I have more trust in Primo at this moment to run the team albeit a bad game against BG. Primo and JJ, in my mind, are both super talented and we are most fortunate to have both. Didn't mean to start any argument over who should get more PT. Probably the one who looks better in a given game. Would love to see both in there together at some point. Probably the 2 most talented guards on the team.

Based on outcomes, Primo should be getting the lion's share of the minutes; especially as the PG. He is going to need all the experience he can get because the competition is going to improve & he is going to be high on other teams' scouting reports. I do advocate for more time for JJ but not necessarily as a PG.



An Acuff/JJ backcourt with Tyson as the lead ballhandler might be something to look at. There just has to be more movement, cutting, & better screening in the offense to make this viable.

No movement in this offense. Bunch of one on one crap. Better to let these guys run up and down the court if you don't have any movement in half court sets.
 

Kneeguy man am I with you!!!  I simply don't get it, do we not need a big - especially if Hima apparently is glued to the bench????  Kareem seems like a great kid, but I also do not think he is even 5'9", look at the picture with him and KD......just sayin.

Full Game Video From Last Week.  Maybe this video will change some minds.



 

What is the old saying?  It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.  

Kareem Rozier is Mr. Reliable for St. Mary’s basketball in 60-51 win over Clarkston - mlive.com

There are a lot of people who do scouting for a living that are really high on this kid.  However, who knows what a great recruit is for this team?  If history has taught us anything it is that regrettably there are going to be at least 4 or more kids leaving the program.  I struggle to understand Dambrot's recruiting and handling of his players among other things.  However, I think this kid has a special ability to make everyone around him better.  Assuming he actually does sign with DU in the spring I will welcome him.  

Agree with keeping all of these players. It won't be easy because they all want to start and the numbers say otherwise. Let's hope that they all get enough PT to keep them happy enough to come back next season.

Rozier is one of the 5 Finalists for Mr. Basketball in Michigan.
He has an unbelievable 8 to 1.5  Assist to turnover ratio

A 3-to-1 ratio is elite-level. Magic Johnson’s ratio was 3.9-to-1. iRozer’s? An amazing 8-to-1.5. It is almost impossible to stay in front of him when he has the ball. His improved strength has enabled him to effectively finish his drives to the basket.

Thanks for the update CLK.

Have you seen any other offers for him?

The Dukes need players at least a foot taller. Yes, a good PG is necessary, but they are going nowhere at this size.

Is there an article to read on Gunn leaving?

Did I miss something? Is Gunn gone?

 Wasn't CLK's comment about Larsen and Gunn leaving posted back in November before we knew that Gunn would sit out the season? That's the only thing that I've seen here.
