I agree with this lineup

Not sure why people have completely given up on Williams to run point

It’s hard to run PG as a true freshman but he has a year under his belt

I can easily see an eventual lineup where Vyctorius and CG3 start but Mike Williams comes off the bench to replace CG3, then CG3 comes back to replace Vyctorius. Typical 3 guard rotation where MW3 takes over the point for 5-8 minutes a half then slides over to SG. But off the bench MW3 can play a little looser and provide energy looking for his shot more.

I just don't think Williams has the instincts for point right now. But that could easily change by sometime next year or the year after. Reportedly his success this year was from the work he put in over the Summer. If he keeps that work ethic up then the sky is the limit as he really has some natural ability.

He's not really a PG for starters. Which is fine, but if you're not an assist guy you gotta be able to drop buckets and he wasnt really that either.

I think he's a good bench option, but there's a reason we're trying hard to get a transfer PG in here.

My guess is transfer PG starts and Givens backs him up for most part. Then Williams/Carter rotate minutes at the 2 mostly. Ward I could see as a starter at the 3 spot basically.

because he's not a point guard. that's not a knock on him either, he's one of my favorite players. he's just not a point guard, and he shouldn't be expected to be one either, especially since we have an actual point guard coming in (CG3)
