I'm watching the WF vs UVA game and seeing that he REALLY could have helped our backcourt this year and been in position to be a leader for us next year... right now, next year looks like we won't have the talent to match the leadership we're going to need, especially from someone who can facilitate the offense.
Dawes and Hunter are going to have to be ready AND capable to handle ACC competition from day 1...
But you are right. We are going to need shooters and playmakers in the backcourt next year. Hopefully we can get a grad transfer or someone with some experience who can play right away. I worry about next year’s team. We are losing a ton of scoring.
I like Trapp's growth, and Newman is going to be good

but neither of them should be our primary ball handler... we need a PG, not a 2G masquerading as a PG. Wright can run the point, distribute the ball and penetrate the defense at 6'5; we really could have used his experience next year while Dawes and Hunter get acclimated. I would love for them to hit the court running, but the reasonable expectation is there is a learning curve for them that we really cannot afford...
