Winston or Simpson

Which one would you want leading your team?

Went with Winston cause he's good like a (bang bang) point guard should.

Winston by a LANDSLIDE. While Simpson is much better from the line this year it really hurts your team in crunch time and you have to sit your point guard like Beilien had to do last year because he couldn’t make a FT.

I do not recall Simpson getting benched at the end of any game last season and his FT shooting contributed to no losses.

Simpson is really good but Winston is money in the clutch. He personifies what a PG can do for a team. Sure MSU is talented but he is the engine that powers the car. Dude makes plays on offense, defense and takes games over late. McQuaid gets overlooked due to their star power but he is salty on D (defensive player of the year I believe) and has really developed into a clutch 3 point shooter as well as a guy who will drive it when there is a lane.

Can’t remember if he did it in the B1G tourney but JB did indeed sit him the end of conference season a few times but no it did not cost them in the games he did (but may have if he didn’t). However as I recall he nearly cost them the Houston game by clanking 3s and FTs. He slid Abdul-Rahkman over to run point to close games. Surprised a die hard Michigan fan missed this as commentators made quite a point of it. Not to mention Cassius outplayed him AGAIN!

 

[Hawksfor3]

He just made a clutch shot too.

FT not the only issue. Winston way better 3pt shooter.

Hope Fran watched this game. May not matter but having a PG like Winston got McQuaid all those open looks. Imagine JBo as the beneficiary of a PG getting him similar looks. It doesn't take a Winston-level PG to accomplish this. You ask McQuaid to play PG and create his own shot and he doesn't bail MSU out.

You're kind of a year off, but Winston is nails.

No, I said this year (66%) was better than last year (49%) when Beilein sat him late in games. Not a year off. He still is not even an average shooter.

He never sat at the end of games. It was a running discussion on Michigan boards.

 

[IllQChawk]

I'd take either one of them, but Wintson was named player of the year so he has the nod. but both are really good and give their teams a chance to win every time they take the court.
Wish we had Bryce Cartwight, he could really make a difference on this team.

Hawkeye fans are unfamiliar with this position. PG? What is that
