He is used to being a back up. This was misleading. The Doe Run offense has been a major part of basketball in the region just to the south of St. Louis. It has been stated that the coaching staff is looking for an expert of that style who can teach it to the team. Maybe as the backup point guard. Maybe as a walk on. The Doe Run is basically just a run and gun style where the point guard guns it down court, and three ‘Does’ get way out in front of the ball. Doe Run.

WVBilliken Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 So, seems if Ford picks up a player with the last scholarship it will likely be a developmental player IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 i think the inaction says he is for now satisfied he has enough point guard skill on the roster to back up yuri sufficiently. if the european trip shows that isnt true, he might react. of course that is probably too late. rolling the dice i guess. i also think he might be saving the last one for that "happens every year" december transfer that might pop up. i have no information on either statement, just trying to read tea leaves basically.

Pistol Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I think they're just being opportunistic. If the right player becomes available for this very specific fit, they'll use it. If not, they're confident in what we have already. I'm sure they're still contacting transfers occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also could mean Travis has been talking to his former player Marcus Smart. Smart had a tweet/FB post the other day that said something like; "So for a guy who's not a PG, it's not bad he led his team to the NBA finals." I'm assuming this was in reference to Smart taking on PG duties. Also, if you watched any of the finals, there were times where Tatum was playing the PG position. Travis may be thinking guys like Perkins, Parker, Thatch, or maybe even Pickett can run the point for 10 mpg. I still don't believe Ford will hand the backup keys to Thames right off the bat, but may be comfortable enough with what he's seen from the FR to think that he can be developed over the course of the season.

billikenbill Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 So there’s no PG from Doe Run? Kind of a letdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always the backup plan, buy a point guard with Dough and run. BilliesBy40 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Hopefully, he will also have to earn time by handling the ball better than he did in the scrimmage. Lot of potential, but can’t have that many turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
