I’m telling you guys, he’s going to be an awesome 2 guard for us in the future. I’m not as concerned if romeo doesn’t come because that will allow him more time to grow at the position and blossom his sophomore year.

A wing. He's a wing. 2 and the 3 are the same position.

Is this kid a starter for us next year?

Seems like he and RP are possibly going to fill immediate needs, depending on departures. I’d hope that Justin Smith was performing well enough to win the spot over him, but they both may be needed honestly.

My guess is that all see fairly significant playing time. If Hunter can get there defensively, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him starting. I think we need Anderson’s outside shooting, and we obviously need a point, but I would think Green or Al would start. I think CAM wants to have a longer team out there next year, so it’ll be interesting to see what combinations will be on the floor together.

I feel RP will definitely get significant playing time if nothing more than Archie wants a true point guard running his offense.  Minutes for Hunter/Anderson/Thompson may depend upon what, if any, additional roster turnover we have after this season ends.  While there's reason for optimism, we can't forget they will be freshmen and it's a big step up from high school to D1.

Yes it is so it still may be a rocky year. I expect we get a few grad transfers.

I don't think AL will start.

I'd be a bigger fan if his shooting was better. He is smart. He takes the right shots. He doesn't force. He drives fairly well. I just have very little confidence in his shooting and so do the other teams.

About as good as Al Durham, I suspect. NOT to compare the two; Vic is a far more explosive athlete.

But like Vic, Al (IMO) has a little bit of "it" factor, and I would be shocked if he is not part of Archie's future plans for the guard rotation.

Number 1 thing Al has. Desire. But yes kid needs to work on shooting as much as possible

Vic was better, actually.  59.3% 2PT FG and 30.8% 3PT compared to 52.5% 2PT FG and 26.7% 3PT, overall FG of 54.7% to 41.4%.
Durham has the FT edge, 64.7% to 61.2%.

Vic was putting up 5 shots per game whereas on .8 was from 3. Al puts up 4.2 shots per game whereas 1.9 is from 3. I think percentage wise they would be closer if Al had the self awareness Vic had as a Freshman. Vic knew he wasn’t a good shooter yet and was getting in the lane. IMO, Al should have the same gameplan of Vic of playing in the lane. We need shooters but we can’t force what isn’t there.

Durham is also playing more minutes, so it's not really a comparable sample.  Too lazy to adjust per 40.  Just answering a question.
