What would signing Malik Newman mean for Keith Hornsby's role?

Enter key snuck up on you, huh?

While it would be another scorer on the team, I think both would work harmoniously. I'll tell you they wouldn't know who to guard on a last second shot with Blakeney, Newman, Simmons and Hornsby on the court at once...

Less minutes obviously. However, he is probably LSU's most intelligent player and a guy you have to have on the court in crunch time. Plus, he's a good rebounder and defender. Those two aspects are going to be just as if not much more important to LSU next season. Especially with the complete unknown that is the frontcourt (Simmons is a great offensive wing, but can he control the glass and paint on defense? Hopefully Victor can, but when will he become eligible?)
Ultimately he's a guy that has proven he can give you double figures every night and will play hard. I think Jones probably trusts him more than anyone on the team. He probably wouldn't play 30mpg with Newman on the team, but he would a big part of LSU's success next year.

Just note, no one in college basketball has ever said, "shite we have too many guards."
It would likely mean that a guard would get more minutes at the 3. Probably Quarterman. It would also lower the minutes of Jalyn Patterson and Gray.

2 different positions. Hornsby will be starting

Keith would need to transfer!

I know Newman was probably nervous in the McDonalds All Star Game and everybody (besides Simmons who was distributing) is looking to get theirs.
So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he is what they say, cause I saw none of it that day. He was o-7 with a couple of bad turnovers and generally didn't look like the No. 4 rated player.
I'll watch again this weekend as he's playing with Simmons and Blankeny this time.

We'd probably play a 3 guard line up, with Quarterman playing the 6th man role, but still getting as many minutes as the starters.
Simmons would play the 4 and Robertson, Victor, and Malone would split time at the 5. Epps would likely backup at the 4 along with Bridgewater.

Malik Newman will play the point guard position in college and in the pros so it will probably not affect Hornsby as much as it would affect Gray, Patterson, and Quarterman.

It mean's that JJ actually has to rotate players.
