Hopefully Fords telling Parker to give us that too. If Parker starts sharing the ball, perhaps We just run him out there at the point at times. Nothing else to lose. If it doesn't work, so be it. I don't want my only player that can score from anywhere on floor running the point and having to worry about getting other players involved in the offense. I want him looking to score every time the ball is in his hands. TRN, billiken_roy and CenHudDude like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him looking to score every time the ball is in his hands. He would have the ball in his hands more this way. But my point was really that if he is actually the best passer on the team, I'd like for him to show that off tiny bit. With his length, I do wonder if he would guard a PG better than a 2-3 spot. But not sure Parker cares to guard anyone so may not matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Parker is not Catlin Clark. He is not going to share the ball. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think the PG position is so weak, running anyone out there might be better than what we see now. I like Medley, but he has no shot and makes the offense play 4 on 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Rammer said Meadows is out for the year - Did anyone listen to the Sunday/Monday shows that he might have said that on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I’m guilty of suggesting LHJ should get more time at the point. He seemed to handle it well last season, but 7 TO’s is inexcusable for a PG. Medley seems lately to like to mix it up with the trees by driving inside with nowhere to go but attempt an ill advised pass. I don’t agree with Parker just getting the ball and trying to be Superman. That’s not gonna work unless he occasionally looks to pass the rock to an open man.

Not justifying 7 TOs, at least in LHJ's case he reduces the liability somewhat by snagging some steals and rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
