Now that Will has been able to experience the struggles associated with playing out of position at point guard early in his career, then struggling at his "natural" position at the 2, he's ready to be a point guard.

It's all part of the process.

...also, why is it that they want to get Will more shots?  That's a serious question, by the way.

Well doesn't need to be able to create because motion offense.  I love that rationale.

Because the four or five he was able to create while playing against nobody in Lithuania is simply not enough.

Man, the people on this board have such short memories, it's unreal.  Guys, Frank said Will shoots the cover off the ball!!!! Hello?  A ball can only clank off the rim so many times before the cover starts to fall off...

Jevon Thomas is eligible on December 21st right? So Will only has to maintain for the first 8-10 games, in theory. 

I'm kind of getting excited for this season, probably because football is sucking and no one really knows what we'll be in hoops. So I can dream a little, I guess.

I'm kind of getting excited for this season, probably because football is sucking and no one really knows what we'll be in hoops.

Who doesn't know what we're going to be in basketball?

There is nothing to be optimistic about.  The best we could possibly achieve this season is average and all that means is that we won a couple games we shouldn't have and oscar Weber's job is secure for another 2 years or longer.  Stop being optimistic, it's stupid.  You make me sick.

What, I can't have hope that Marcus Foster or Jevon Thomas might be half decent?  I can't remember any of the other new comers names, oh yea, Nigel Johnson. Yea I don't have any expectations for him.  But maybe Shane takes his game to yet another level?  Maybe Gip and DJamer don't just get completely obliterated inside? 

Reality sucks, I want to live in dream land for a little while longer, I mean I'm currently under the delusion that the football team is going to somehow get to 6 wins in it final 6 games. ( I know they have 7, but I've already come to terms with this Saturday's beat down on national tv by Baylor.)

So, I really think that Will is going to be a more effective player at PG than SG. He's never been a guy who could come off screens and shoot, for whatever rough ridin' reason that may be, I really don't know. Playing point will allow him to shoot off the dribble a little more in our offense, for whatever reason he seems to be able to do that adequately. Also, Will is just terrible off the ball. He has bird legs and so he gets pushed around, combined with below average foot speed it resulted in an absolute inability to get open...like ever. As long as he can bring the ball up and get the ball to our scorers without turning it over and sink a couple threes off the bounce, then I think we will get more value out of him at the point. Obviously he is still going to be a stunning downgrade from Angel, but I'm trying to look for a silver lining here.

Let me get this straight, you think it is easier to get open when you bring the ball up than it is when you have to without the ball?  You think his bird legs and his slow feet were a problem off the ball but will be better when our entire offense runs through those slow bird legs?

I think it's more suited to his skill set. I'm not really saying that he will be a good PG, but I am saying that he was a terrible SG. He's a pretty tall kid, and it seems that if there is an armlength between him and his defender then he can let loose a three off the dribble. That also seems to have been his best offense since he got to K-State, and also the shot he has taken the least. I could see him doing that more with the ball being in his hands up top more.
