Who was our legitimate lead guard in 2003 for JBs only title? I think most have to agree GMac was more a shooting guard than a true classic point guard. He did not make much happen off the bounce when a play broke down. In 2003 the offense mostly went thru Carmelo, who obviously was not a pt guard either. Yes he could make something happen off the bounce when a play broke down. But he still wasnt a lead guard. You may very well be correct that we could use a legit lead guard. But not sure JB agrees w you. If he did imo he would have recruited a true point guard for '16/17.  Instead he recruited Tyus Battle whom i suspect he will put in a Mike G / Carmelo type role next year as point forward. Should be interesting to see how the experiment goes. My own opinion on Battle is he is slightly ahead of Malachi in terms of overall skills at a similar point in their careers, ie i expect him to put up similar  or slightly better #s than a freshman Malachi. Love Battle, (love Mal and Lydon too) but not sure how the experiment with him as a point guard will go. I can see it going much better than G or much worse by end of season. At least JB will have a sophomore Frank H waiting if Battle struggles w the point.
