re: Ok, we've reached our consensus point where we judge the team.

I want to preface my statement by saying that NWC and Jank are playing unbelievable for freshmen. Having said that, I still think the game is too fast for both of them. I think that's one reason Jank didn't play against Illinois. NWC seems to have adjusted to the speed of the game better except when he's asked to run the point. I also think NWC got more time than Jank because he handles the speed of the game on the defensive end better. I think both will continue to get time through out the year and by March, the game will have slowed down for both.

We really need that second ball handler. We can get through the season with just Pressey, but come tourney time, when every team Mizzou plays is solid, we have to have someone there if Pressey gets in foul trouble. NWC isn't there yet. Might be by year end. Hate to ask a scorer in Brown to handle the point but might not have a choice, at least for some minutes each game. What's the story on Bull? I know he's not a scorer. Heard he was a decent defender. I had hoped he was also a ball handler that could eat some minutes. Does anyone see him possibly transferring with the PG's coming in? If he can't run the point now for a few minutes a game, I don't know if he'll ever crack the line up.
