Jg3 gives us scoring never misses a ft. In a tight game coming down to fats hes valuable
Box score says 8 assists in 17 minutes for HW!! Deserves more time at the PG.HW had success as a PG vs an ACC team in the road which last I checked none of our other guys who have played PG have done this year.
Exactly right.They both gotta play. No reason to play some of our guys 30+. JB gotta figure out his bench and how to play more then 5 guys. We will need each guys skillset at some point and JG3 will have games where he can light it up. Washington looked excellent running point but that's not suprising considering hes the only true pg on the roster.
Didn't look slow at all to me today. Pushed the ball at the right time, and his slides and adjustments on D are faster than anyone except maybe Goodine. He's more athletic than Buddy or Joe.Agreed. Ive been skeptical of Washington from the jump. His weaknesses (slow and unathletic) are exactly what we’ve been complaining about with this team and feed into those overall problems/weaknesses. That’s why I’ve been hoping Carey (pre-injury) or Goodine would start figuring it out. Who knows, maybe Washington can help stanch the bleeding this season (until Girard or Goodine can make some progress) because he is a natural PG, knows what JB wants, and knows our system.

Yeah, he got bailed out with a foul on one press today that I thought he was a bit nonchalant, but he also needs a bit more help. Goodine didn't know where to be, or to come to the ball and help.He doesn't have the offensive game but has the same demeanor and court vision as a Tyler Ennis. Washington's biggest weakness is when he gets trapped in the press. This is the only time you really see him look uncomfortable. That can be worked on through more minutes.
The one thing Washington does better than anyone else is he moves the ball quickly. If a man is open in scoring position he is getting the ball . Or if he is a hockey assist away same thing. Washington also feeds the post and plays the pick and roll very well.
In the post-game press conference, JB mentioned a travel call against Girard. From the context of his remarks, he seemed to be saying that he thought it was happening too much, or maybe that he was turning the ball over too much. It seemed like JB was sending a message to Girard by giving him the hook.Howard Washington looked REALLY good today.
At the very least, it suggests that Girard is going to get a much shorter leash. Not throwing Girard under the bus -- but the offense seemed to run better with Washington at the helm.
Trend or flash in the pan?
Let's hope it's a trend. HW is the one true PG on the team, he has good instincts, and the offense usually seems more fluid when he is triggering ball movement.Howard Washington looked REALLY good today.

Cool, sample size of 1. That seals it. Point made. Case closed. Mic dropped.
Our only true PG.He seems like he’s just comfortable running the point. A steady game manager that instinctively knows how to run an office is something we haven’t had.
Eh. I mean, better to see a guy play well against somebody than nobody.Let’s see how he does against a team that has guards that can actually apply even a tiny modicum of ball pressure to the ball handler .. what we saw Today looked good but I doubt he’d have looked like this bringing it up against that tank from ok state
I agree let’s wait til conference play and we play away from home. Oh wait.Let’s see how he does against a team that has guards that can actually apply even a tiny modicum of ball pressure to the ball handler .. what we saw Today looked good but I doubt he’d have looked like this bringing it up against that tank from ok state

Washington's play made me think of Lazarus Sims today.Howard Washington looked REALLY good today.

I'd love to see an actual rotation. Give Joe and Buddy equal time to rest. Let Joe slide over to the 2 from time to time. Can only help.Washington's play made me think of Lazarus Sims today.
That's a really good thing.
He should absolutely be in the 3-man guard rotation going forward at the very least.
I don't get this line of thinking.Howard is a legit PG.Girard is not.
Girard is a better player, but the one position is so vital on the court.
Will be fascinating to see how future minutes get dispersed.
