You could make a case that MU has gotten between subpar and atrocious pg play since 2011-12. Certainly since 2014-15 the best pg we have had is Keith Shamburger, which is ludicrous to say. Its been a massive position of weakness basically since we joined the SEC.

Hopefully Dru Smith is good at this level, and hopefully Pinson is ready. Both of those seem plausible, and that would be huge if true.

We probably aren't going to get much from the 4 next season. It might be better if we just played a big guard there.

Puryear vs. Brown/Jackson - itznotwillis MU - 8/28 08:58:47
     Comes down to PG play - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 10:39:48
          Dru alone will make pg play better, - longtimereader MU - 8/28 15:13:35
          Pickett is 6'5" 225 now (nm) - Uncle John MU - 8/28 10:58:01
               I noticed that and thought that good for a 4 guard lineup - longtimereader MU - 8/28 15:04:07
                    Before he hurt his back Pickett was shooting 38% on 3’s - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 16:08:47
                         Actually it was less than that at that point - longtimereader MU - 8/28 17:03:27
                              Sports reference must be wrong then - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 17:08:24
                                   going into that game - longtimereader MU - 8/28 19:23:39
                                        That was the second Arkansas game - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 20:05:54
                                             That is correct - longtimereader MU - 8/28 21:10:23
                                                  He’s got an ugly shot - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 21:17:55
               Hopefully his body holds up better - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 11:24:40
          Pinson and Smith will both be terrific I have a feeling - raskolnikov MU - 8/28 10:49:40
               Pinson will be better, but his best ball will be his Jr & Sr - Diamond Dave MU - 8/28 14:00:15
                    I don’t know if Jackson will really be better than - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 14:16:29
                         That's exactly what I'd expect from Jackson this year - longtimereader MU - 8/28 15:19:08
                         Agree and I meant by the end of the season, he'll be a - Diamond Dave MU - 8/28 14:18:42
               Beats me, I've never seen Jackson play (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:20:10
               I think Jackson will have some success, but I also think - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/28 11:03:26
                    And that is the great thing about having classes that return - raskolnikov MU - 8/28 11:07:42
                         You're exactly right. Some are critical of CM on here, - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/28 20:12:01
                              almost every rebuild takes 3-4 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 20:24:42
          2012-13 had Phil Pressey so it was far from subpar or - tgr MU - 8/28 10:48:52
               Pressey was a hot mess in '13. He'd make some plays and - alwaysright MU - 8/28 11:52:07
                    Yet we still won 23 games and made the tourney while he lead - tgr MU - 8/28 12:33:20
                         Ok. I didn’t call him subpar. He was a mess. - alwaysright MU - 8/28 15:20:01
                         That team was ranked #7 in the nation, and finished the year - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 12:39:39
                              that team still had some really big holes - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 14:29:56
                                   RE: that team still had some really big holes - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 14:57:14
               He was definately a significant reason that team under - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:18:58
                    You're such an idiot. He was a first team all-SEC that year - tgr MU - 8/28 11:22:37
                         I disagree, and stand behind that position. (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:24:06
                    That was because he didn’t have Dixon - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 11:21:50
                         So we got shaky pg play from one guy, and the other - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:23:36
                              Flip was still good that year - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 11:26:43
                                   That team would have had a much better chance for more - sprintcar STL - 8/28 11:32:32
                                   I disagree with that - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:30:52
                                        His defense wasn’t good his first 2 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 11:34:12
                                             that isn't what I mean. The post is lost now, but at one - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 12:37:23
          Both Kash and Geist were better than Shamburger - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 10:41:45
               Neither of them were pgs - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 10:42:32
                    Both played PG, so they were - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 10:47:33
                         That is different than what I'm saying though - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:16:58
                              that isn't true at all. just b/c someone isn't a "pg" does - TigerA MU - 8/28 11:19:45
                                   It means you are playing without a pg, which - FIJItiger MU - 8/28 11:22:06
                                        RE: It means you are playing without a pg, which - MUKdC MU - 8/28 15:38:26
                                        Just because someone is vastly better at 1 position - Mizzmi27 MU - 8/28 15:06:06
                                        so dumb - TigerA MU - 8/28 11:26:24
     Puryear took less than 2 3’s per game - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 10:03:58
          It would be interesting to know how many shots Puryear - MU-TULSA MU - 8/28 10:14:41
          He shouldn't have had a license to shoot any(nm) - itznotwillis MU - 8/28 10:06:20
               i Thought he should have shot it more - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 10:25:17
                    There was a reason he was always open behind the arc - itznotwillis MU - 8/28 11:05:06
     People don't want to admit it but the season depends on SEC - alstl MU - 8/28 09:36:21
          Tilmon is a game changer - o'lineydisciple MU - 8/28 11:12:32
          Cuonzo doesn't do that. He's been clear that he simply won't - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/28 10:04:13
               Tilmon was obviously being targeted - not debatable - the - alstl MU - 8/28 16:00:19
               Sometimes you have to have your player's back - Tiger Tim MU - 8/28 12:20:47
               While I respect Cuonzo for doing what he does on the - Da_Haze KC - 8/28 10:23:31
                    he works the refs non stop - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/28 10:26:17
                         Right. He talks to them a lot more than people realize. He - sprintcar STL - 8/28 10:28:48
                              And it resulted in favorable calls - Domino MU - 8/28 10:37:47
          they "target" him b/c he fouls a lot. he has earned - TigerA MU - 8/28 09:39:43
               He had that reputation due to his freshman year - Da_Haze KC - 8/28 09:53:52
               And opposing teams have keyed in on ways to push him - Domino MU - 8/28 09:44:58
                    i agree with this all(nm) - TigerA MU - 8/28 10:29:53
     Maybe, but I think it's less important this season - Domino MU - 8/28 09:03:09
