Well, we graduate G and TC. Our backup PG (Joseph) is transferring next season. We may or may not retain Malachai Richardson (NBA?). We have another guard coming in (Battle), and one PG (Howard) returning. But Battle's not known as a pure PG, and Howard will be a sophomore with no starting experience.

Moyer is not a great shooter from deep but he's been improving in that area.

CJ Fair wasn't a very good shooter from deep as a freshman either -- by the time he left the hill I feel like every 3pter he was taking was going in.
Moyer is a hard worker, I expect him to be a more than adequate 3pt threat by the time he's done here
Gillon, Mali, Battle, Moyer, Lydon-
That is a v interesting lineup but a lineup of Gillon, Mali, Battle, Lydon , Pascal would have a lot of scoring/shooting but also be a little better rebounding and have a rim protector. I dont see that as the starting lineup, i think TyRob deserves to start. But that above lineup for much of the game w TRob, Howard, DC and Moyer waiting in the wings is pretty scary

What's crazy is that is a massive improvement for us as far as bench G's go -- how many 3's did Howard make last year?" Obviously Lydon hit more than his fair share, but we didn't get any from anyone else off the bench

I think the starting lineup is locked in with Battle, TRob, Lydon and DC. The only question is if it's Mali or Howard (if Mali leaves). I think Battle and Mali start up top if he comes back.

No matter what this gives us an experienced guy and a good FT shooter to put in the end of tight games.

I like the idea of competition rather than to hand someone a starting spot -- but I think having a scorer like Gillon off the bench will be nice, as opposed to Howard who is more of a facilitator.
Not so fast. Stay tuned.
