Definitely a huge loss depth wise, as others have said an injury to our back court and we’re in serious trouble.  And losing a 5th year vet is impossible to replace.  The biggest dip I feel will be on defense.  Even not fully healthy Geno was much quicker than HW, and it seemed HW was having a hard time stopping other guards from splitting the top of the zone via the dribble.  Couldn’t really stay in front of them all that well.  Hopefully he improves as the season goes on.  Where I am excited about HW though, is on the offensive end, where I’m not sure this is much of a downgrade.  Both are good shooters, HW might have a tad quicker release, but both are more than adequate.   I just get a very strong sense of calmness when HW is handling the ball.  He just doesn’t seem to get rattled and really directs traffic very well.  He is the first real pure PG we have had since Ennis.  It’s obvious as other have said that we’re only going to see him for 8-10 minutes at max, so hopefully he makes the progress that many on this board think he will!

Let’s go Nation!!!
