re: Wade really needs to find a PG/floor general type now.

Wrong. So why would Sampson list all of the previous great PGs as I’ve quoted before Thomas…and list Flemings….and not Uzan…if Uzan was his PG??? Uzan was a combo guard most definitely not a PG and every metric out there will say otherwise. Flemings(26.3%) had a much higher usage rate as Uzan(19.3%). You are so lost in this. Even when you are flat out wrong and given plenty of evidence you will continue to bury yourself. I’m out.

As usual you’re just making shite up. You don’t watch basketball, you never watched a Houston game which is why you don’t know who played where and don’t know they’re one of the top defensive teams in the country every year. And BTW Javonte Smart and Skylar Mays are both considered PGs on their profiles too but if you watched LSU (you don’t) you’d know one was the PG when they played together here.

You’ve already been exposed for being dishonest about your “history” around that area so you just saying you do something while all the evidence points to you not doing it isn’t a credible argument. And again you continue to misuse and add context that doesn’t exist to coach speak, pretending it’s evidence. Anyone, including you, wants to see who the PG at Houston was the last 2 seasons, there are a ton of their games on YouTube that proves you’re full of it.

This is logic and an actual argument to you. LSU has had several PGs who’ve shot 3s at that rate or higher. Again you don’t watch basketball and don’t know what you’re talking about.

Right, I don't expect you to understand. You still can't explain why Sampson said Flemings was his PG and you dismiss every piece of information you get because you must know more than me and everyone else out there. You're not making any arguments to counter any of my talking points which would be usage rate, assists, all that stuff. You are set in your ways and there's nothing that me or the head coach of the team could say apparently that would change your mind. Sampson took naps during the games too, I guess he didn't watch either.

I've actually been to alot of games, as I've said previously I had some ties to the program. You say it's coach speak to fit your argument, crazy assumption to know what's coach speak and what isn't. Direct quotes flagged by you as coach speak to fit your narrative. Again, alot of these numbers im giving you prove my point...as the point guard is the primary ball handler...which also explains the usage and assists numbers. Yet you sit here and continue to deny...you actually are correct from the previous year, he did fill that role with Shead leaving...but when Flemings arrived, he got bumped to the wing...which is also why he shot more 3's because he was coming off more screens and had the ball less. He ran from the top some, but that belonged mostly to Flemings...which is why Sampson called him the point guard. See, if you out all these things together, you'll arrive to your answer..yet you refuse. All good man, I'm sure people revere your knowledge on this board.

Wrong.

Other PGs you mentioned for that team have taken more.

-Sasser- 6.8 3s attempted per game
- Cryer (not a PG)- 7.8 3s per game

Never said they were Point Guards, I said they were "smaller, weaker defenders". That was in context with Thomas being undersized. Which was one of the reason's you said he'd come off the bench. Let's revisit.

You're gonna keep an all-conference player who has averaged almost 15ppg and 5asts...for his career....to come off the bench? All the while a 6'1 Cryer, Shead, Sasser, all 3 of them smaller, "weaker defenders"... have not only started....but LEAD THE TEAM IN SCORING the past several years?


You are making guesses based on what? You are lost.

---

Where did I mention their positions? Only about size. You made this up. To fit a narrative.

quote:

---

- Cam Thomas
- Trendon Watford

Both had higher usage rates than our PGs so there goes your other standard. You obviously don’t even know what the stat means.

Nothing you’ve said is based on fact. You’re panicked and ignorant

---

This is also a reason why I've been against Will Wade's style of play. Same thing with Smart and Mays. He runs his offenses through his best players, not necessarily a consistent system through a point guard. Which is why usage is all over the place. As you say, context matters.


At almost 40, I'm still actively playing in leagues and coaching my kids/former players. You should get a game together and I'll make the 3 hour drive and show you what a PG is.
