I see him as a pretty good player, but is he good enough to be our starting PG?  He's averaging 2.6 assists vs. 2.1 turnovers, and he plays more minutes than anybody on the team.  Yes, he shares PG duties with Judah and Copeland.

Copeland is putting up 2.9 assists vs. 1.9 turnovers (how is that possible, right?) in 2/3 the minutes of JJ, and Judah is giving us 3.9 assists vs. 2.9 turnovers.

I'm not writing off anybody, but Judah had more assists last year, and Girard as a sophomore was the last time our top assists guy only put up 3.5 per game.  We've had some truly dreadful PG production these past 5 years or so, like "historically worst" territory, like Frank Howard leading us with only 2.7 assists per game in 2018-19.

John Gillon was our last guy to average 5 assists a game, and that was 7 years ago.  Last person before that was Tyler Ennis, our first year in the ACC.

I think we need a REAL point guard.  Nobody has created easy shots for other guys on our teams in years and years.  Autry has to start running better offensive sets to give people better looks at the basket.  He is working on generating easy buckets in transition, but you have to be able to run a half court offense, too.
