What true point guards are we trying to land?

[Flacusian]

For next year we will have several 2's and if KJ stays in the fold I suppose he would be considered a true point guard...but other than that are there any prospects which are being heavily recruited by us and if so who are they and where can I see tape/ film?

We should be still pursuing Kobe Simmons in my opinion

The ball will be given to Battle.

Not sure if we are even in contention...but Trevon Duval would be a blessing.

Seriously. He seems to be a talent who doesn't come around every year.

2016 PG/Combo - Battle
2017 PG/Combo - Duval/Quade Green/Hamidou Diallo
From what I have seen, any of these four can play the point.

I trust your judgement, but I hadn't thought of Diallo as a point guard. I was hoping for Duval and Diallo.

Thanks, I knew that Battle was on board for us but I was of the opinion that he is a combo guard. Of course in Boeheim's universe there isn't necessarily a distinction between a 1 and a 2 and I was just curious about whether we were pursuing anyone who was more of a pure 1.

I hear you and you're right. Of the four, Diallo is more of the scorer. But at the very least he's a combo. Can bring up the ball and is a decent passer.

As Cusetown posted somewhere, Battle should be given keys to the Jaguar, will run the point. If by then, Howard or anyone else proves their worth to start, well then I expect a.......(wait for it)............Battle!

KJO is so fast if he ever leans to lead the fast break. Halfcourt Point and Fullcourt point are two different roles and can be played by two different players. I think KJO will smoke a double team better then anyone this year and next but his passing and shooting needs alot of work iq, form, confidence, memory(no longer needing to be coached) and performance wise.

I think he has decent quickness but he isn't a Boatwright or anything close. Also, he would never ever be doubled.

Now that we have the open scholarship we have to be crazy not to keep trying with Simmons - seems like it would be the perfect place for him too - if he is good enough he is starting day one at point and he can switch up some with Battle at 2G - have to think we would be as favored as anyone to win next year if he came
