True and JB has never been afraid to play someone out of position at the point either. G, most recently, but Triche was never really a PG, IMO, GMac for multiple years, etc.

It feels like a pretty big gamble and it's hard to envision it playing out well for this season unless Howard takes a huge step forward, in which case you would theoretically feel good about the backcourt with Howard/Battle and potentially two depth guys (Washington/5th year?) and you'd be OK with the front court if they land Tucker (Tucker/Moyer/Thompson/Sidibe/Brissett/Chuckwu).

It may also be that the staff is trying to get to a place where they can actually form a roster with upperclassmen going forward, even if it means limping through '17-'18. You get the vibe that Washington and Howard are 4-year guys, Chuckwu isn't going anywhere (though he may not be any sort of factor), Moyer seems like a 3+ year guy and you would think Sidibe and Brissett are 2 year guys at a minimum but likely 3 or 3+ year guys?

Either way, '17-'18 is feeling like a roll of the dice on Howard, even if Ayala reclassifies.
