McNeese was the first place he actually got to play the position he should have prior that’s at least a baseline fact. McNeese also ran a small ball system with 5 guards and wings for long stretches as well as 4 and 1 with a single big that played about 19 mpg but was not a factor on offense.

When you watch the games he is definitely very comfortable on the ball whether he’s pushing it or needing to execute in the halfcourt. The impact on the defensive end helps a lot with reducing the pressure to force the issue on offense. Had McNeese had a big that could be part of the offensive game plan he likely would have put up more numbers as a distributor even though his per 40 was solid at just under 7 apg.

The two biggest factors at this level is he doesn’t turn the ball over and has the physical size and athleticism to essentially force an opponent to react and play around him vs Dual having to make large adjustments every game. He is not going to shot hunt much but there is game there to be worked on if this staff wants him to be more aggressive offensively.

If somehow 5 for 5 brings back Kingz that would just make things even easier for Dual at the point. Or maybe we add another lead guard and the conversation is more layered.
