Who is the best ball handler and playmaker?  We are loaded with 2s and 3s.  Four of this year's players shot 40-47% threes last year.  Scott shot the 40% and will likely be the 4 this year.  Buggs shot the 47% (I believe that he was 11th in the nation) and a strong candidate for the three.  Noland and Edwards were both in the mid-forties and could be the 1 and/or 2.

I am concerned about our 4s and 5s numbers of players.  Need one more quality Big?

Buggs had a 38.9% FG% and 39.6% 3PT% for 2022-2023.  He ranked 43rd in 3PT% in the NCAA.  Tylor Perry ranked 18 at 41.33%.  Maybe at one point during the season Buggs was ranked 11th in the nation and shooting at or near 47%, but his final numbers are not close.  The #2 ranked player in 3PT% shot 45.5% on the season.

I think Allen backs up Aaron .  It will be interesting to see if Big Chris is ready for minutes at the 5 in relief of Molaye . 

No Allen is backing up Sisoke I believe.

I think it’ll be a 3-man rotation at the 4/5 positions. It’s what we saw from Mccasland most years. 19-20 it was Geu and Simmons starting with Bell off the bench, and when Bell came in Geu either went to the bench or slid to the 5. 21-22 was similar with Bell and Ousmane starting and Scott off the bench, with Scott either coming in for Bell or sliding Bell to the 5.

I expect something similar for the current team. Allen backing up both Scott and Sissoko. With his size and skill set he should be able to play both the 4 and 5 spots.

If any Freshman ever gets to start my candidate would be Ma'Syn Howell.  This kid is a great hustler who averaged 16 points and 8 steals at the Legends School in Spring.  He was spoken of as the best point guard of 2023.  He is a superior ball handler and dishes out a lot of assists.  He is great at finding the open man and appears to be a good three-point shooter.  He is an 80% free throw shooter.

Ma'Syn Howell is a walk-on.  I doubt seriously that a freshman walk-on becomes the starter for this team.  I am not sure how I would view this coaching staff & their recruiting in general if he did.

I agree . Add Walker, Cotton  and Morgan to bench . Howell and Allo Walkons 

I don't know if Edwards can be kept on the bench or not.  He needs the minutes because he's going to be another prolific scorer.

If you are wrong, then there will be two of us in that category.  But will it be possible with the number of guards on the roster?  😒 There are only so many minutes to be had.  Do we have a redshirt candidate (or two) on the roster?

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
