sorry but Avo ws not in any way a "true point guard" Avo has always been and off guard or 2 guard if you rather, he just basically used to be the only offense so he would just take the ball and try to create he wasn't the director of the offense

Sorry you guys missed my attempt at sarcasm. In no way should yur best shooters be saddled with the PG position. McCallum and Richard should be scoring, not distributing.

Unfortunately, if we don't sign the ever elusive JUCO PG, McCallum will be our PG next year.

This isn't the NBA. Unless you're a monumentally talented player like Evan Turner, you won't be asked to distribute all that much, only to set up the offense and score if you're open. Look at Trevon Hughes and Kalin Lucas, two point guards on great teams who lead their team in scoring. Hell, even Turner himself leads the Buckeyes in points per game.
When I watched McCallum in the scrimmage way back when he seemed like a natural point guard, probing the defense and trying to facilitate the best possible way to score, whether through himself or someone else. He's definitely a player who's capable of taking a game over, but he's a smart basketball player who can find the open man. I see no reason why playing point guard will A) take away his shot attempts or B) limit him as a basketball player.

I dont know how he will do against D1 level talent every night but the kid appears to be have the potential to be a big time scorer.

If you can shoot well, you can score at any level.

If you can shoot well, you can score at any level. Ryan Thornton tends to disagree. |

Here's a difference. Richard can move, Thornton couldn't.

Here's a difference. Richard can move, Thornton couldn't. And if Ryan Thornton had the offensive intangibles as a Freshman that Big James currently has, he would still be on the team because he would have received more minutes. Thornton struggled to find his shot and was a complete defensive liability on the court. With respect to James, he is too. The difference is that James' offensive prowess far outweighs the negatives in regards to his defense. |

James is actually a solid defender. He has great quick hands and disrupts a lot of plays, and he is solid in low post defense. He is one of our best hedgers. Obviously a quicker player can get around him on the wing, but we limit those mismatches. No complaints about James's defense from here.
