PJT out vs UAE with thigh bruise...

should open up minutes for Eastern and possibly allow for more transition play as Boogie takes the reigns at point.

I am guessing he'll be good to go Tuesday or Wednesday as UAE may be the weakest of the teams in the pool.

Yes Eastern looked good at Pg today. if pj were out for a sustained period of time, would you want Edwards to switch over to play the point with Cline at SG, or would you keep Edwards at SG, and give pj's minutes to Eastern with Cline backing up Edwards?

I'm basically asking, when pj graduates, who will replace him at Pg? Edwards, or Eastern? Who is the guy you prefer leading our team next year? My thoughts are to leave Edwards where he currently is and allow Eastern or a 2018 recruit take pj's spot.

This is a pure speculative question. But if Painter were to somehow sign Langford, who on our current team would be his best suited back court mate? And what do you do with the guy who loses out? Would you make him a 6th man? Or would you run a three guard offense?

A backcourt of Eastern and Edwards is exciting to think about. I don't care who gets which title. Versatile scorers and tough matchups. Brings back memories of Dee Brown and Derrick Williams from a few years back. If they are that good, look out.

The only way to improve as a player or team is to practice and workout. They haven't really missed any of that due to injuries, illness, or surgeries. You'll see major improvements from everyone if that keeps up.
