whatever combination it is I'm ready to get it rolling. As long as Guyn doesn't start at PG I'm cool. Every guard on team brings something different to table so I expect all of them to get fair share of minutes to prove themselves early on.

Morman might be the wild card...what if he's so good he forces his way into more playing time? It'll be an interesting preseason.

KJ hasn't played a full season either and ill say the say to you KJ ain't proved anything yet either.
Well it wasnt just the last 4 games at the end of the year. Was instrumental in helping the team beat Nebraska and Memphis (at Memphis) towards the beginning of the year. Juco does not equal proven. KJ may not have the minutes under his belt to say he "has played a full season" but he has practiced everyday with a D1 team that was ranked as high as 7th in the country. He played in high profile games and got a taste of the physicality and speed of the D1 game. Cobb has played at a mid major and then a juco. So I'll ask you the question in reverse, why are you ready to give a guy who was a juco, mid major player the starting spot over a guy who already has been productive at the position in this system?

My reasoning for having a lot of faith in KJ:

- First 5 games: 6/26 (23%) FGs. After that, shot 35/77 (45%)
- 0/13 start from beyond the arc. After that, shot 15/35 (43%)

If you look at overall numbers, I see your doubt, but Mick is going to give him a LOT of time this year to prove that the numbers after his rough start are no fluke. Also throw in that he hit 26/30 FTs (87%).

Now, back to Justin Jenifer, maybe?

Because there is no one else better to start at sg IMO he the best sg if you throw mason on the team then ill start him at sg I just don't believe you cant throw a barely played soph (KJ) into the starting sg spot and expect to win the conference and even the national championship.

But I do respect all you KJ supporters and your options but you have to see my angle as well. Just agree to disagree.

You can't go by that when sk probably shot 200 more than KJ. KJ didn't play enough minutes to compare to players that played 35 minutes a game.
