Brock Harding.

He’s earned more minutes imo. I was concerned that teams would abuse him on defense but I’m not seeing it. His passing is elite and he’s shooting the 3 well.
He played pretty good defense today.

Cut off the ball well.

As Settles said he does make some attempts at low percentage steals but Perkins still does the same thing all the time.

Either Bowen or Harding should be on the court at all times. We need a point guard on the court not on the bench.
The starting lineup is just pure nonsense.

Play all forwards that can't defend anyone to start and then sub in 4 guards.

The 3/4 guard lineup is actually better than the starters but neither one is even close to being the best version of the team.

Speaking from experience, I think this comes from being on the short side and the threat of being backed down and posted for an easy bucket. You take more risks at slapping the ball or jumping a dribble out of necessity. He’s doing a good job of staying in front of his man and playing strong to avoid that from happening.

I’ll say this, I think he’s the best ball handler and passer since Horner or Oliver and perhaps the only “true” point guard Fran has had since Fran’s juco transfer point his first season. If his 3 point shooting holds up I think we got ourselves our man at the point. Impressive freshman class so far.
