She had 11 points tonight! Watching her warm up in iowa city before that game— had no arch on her three and had me worried. But hit a bunch in Cancun
Thoughts on Guyton
- Thread starter retrodent
- Start date
She has nice shot, she seems still a bit hesitant to drive to the lane though
Appears to have solid ball handling
Her confidence is growing each game

Quite excited to have her on the team. She gonna be good
Tonight she looked like the best freshman PG not named Clark we’ve seen at Iowa in many years.
I think she plays all the backup pg minutes and they will experiment with letting lucy play the 2 for very limited minutes when we need multiple ball handlers. It's important to remember how much practice she's missed, so a week of practicing at the 1 against the press could really help her.
She needs to work on ball handling. She's had it stolen several times in the couple games she has played.
Of course she does. She was just fully released like 12-14 days ago. She's had VERY little actual practice time with her team mates. Thats why her gelling in the offense is a work in progress, and yet individual things like shooting she's s a bit more up to speed. When Lucy gets back if AG can give us a good 8-10 minutes a game that would be huge......
I like the thought here but expect it being more than limited minutes. Shift Olson to 2 would be really fun and effective - not to mention it would help Guyton's game grow immensely. They were running Olson at the 2 spot with Stremlow at the 1 spot for periods of time earlier this season. Stremlow is great player but more of a 2-3 spot player or perhaps a 1-2 combo guard.
It's clear why the freshmen class is ranked a top 10 recruiting class. 4 of the 5 frosh are really good players already!

It’s unbelievable what some of our posters on here say. You’re absolutely right.
She appears to have a lot of potential and great blood lines. What she did in Cancun just returning from months of injury/rehab is pretty impressive.
The whole team needs to work on turnovers. Last two games we have 45 turnovers, 22 Thursday and 23 last night
The best thing to come of the injury to Lucy was having to grind thru both games to get wins. And the emergence of Guyton. This frosh class is legit.
WTF did I say besides she needs to work on her ball handling? ****ing moron. I know she was hurt and out for a while that doesn't mean she doesn't need to work on things. I'm not saying she's not good, I think she needs to play more.
I don’t think the post you are quoting was directed at you.
I'm not at all worried about her ball handling. The last game she played was in Dec 2023 in high school. She will just need a few games to get used to the speed of the college game.
I'm very pleasantly surprised with her outside shooting.
Yes, me too. I didn't know she could shoot that well from 3.
Yes it was. As @kceasthawk said, she was cleared 12 days ago. Coming off a serious knee injury. Of course she’s rusty, and I’m sure Jan was planning on playing her maybe 7-10 minutes a game to give Lucy a break. Then she’s injured and Guyton has to actually be our main pts guard? Of course she’s going to turn the ball over a few times. She’s hardly practiced with the 1st team in live action. But yes, she needs to work on her ball handling. 😏
Guyton's father A.J. was a two time All-State basketball player
at Peoria Central High School in Illinois. He played at Indiana
University under Coach Bobby Knight. His position was point guard.
He also played in the NBA for about 5 years.
Bottom Line: She is going to be a great addition to the Iowa Hawkeyes
and their continued success. She has good basketball genes.

I'll add he didn't just play at Indiana he was super good at Indiana
And her mom was a pro for many years, and a member of the Brazilian national team I believe....
Not healthy??
Does he mean not 100%? I'd guess that's what he means.
