JBAnyone really in the know?
I am not in the know, nor do I know, but I would say he does not start game 1.
Yeah, what RF said. We'll be starting two combo guards next year with our only true point coming off the bench.Difficult to envision, barring injury, that a highly rated recruit like Mintz won't start.
But his skill set is not that of a true lead guard. But he has a much better handle than Joe, and should go a long way towards helping the team break pressure defense more effectively, a problem that cost us several games last year.
And Joe is a good enough playmaker, that the two playing in combination shouldn't matter. Doesn't really matter what you call them. Ditto if Symir is in the game. I think these 3 can play in any combination.
Best case scenarioBoeheim quote on Mintz in May: “He’s really good, he’ll be a pro. He’ll probably start at the 1 and move Joe over to the 2, we’ll see how that goes.”

That’s the only statement from JB on the lineup so far
Thats because its Joe's natural positionJB in that 27 minute interview that was posted the other day, said something about Joe being at the 2 will be better for him.
Wildhack also said in a presser Joe will probably be playing his more natural position next year.The fact that JB is publicly talking about moving Joe to the 2 is really really good

For some eerie feeling, I think those two points have a correlation.No shyt JB. That’s what most of the fans have been screaming the previous 3 seasons but you failed to get another PG or move your son off the 2 spot.
His son was first team all-ACC at the 2.No shyt JB. That’s what most of the fans have been screaming the previous 3 seasons but you failed to get another PG or move your son off the 2 spot.
Don’t cloud the issue with your facts.His son was first team all-ACC at the 2.
Yup! Was a great player….to be in there about 30 mpg.His son was first team all-ACC at the 2.
Last year, not the last three years. That still doesn’t justify 40 minutes a game there.His son was first team all-ACC at the 2.
I wouldn't have had a problem with a different distribution of minutes. I just disagree with your suggestion that JB should have moved Buddy off the 2 spot.Last year, not the last three years. That still doesn’t justify 40 minutes a game there.
Led to a loooooot of W’s too!
Wait….
