A lot depends on point

As always, our success this year will depend a lot on how good we are at point. We have had good success with juco point guards in recent years, and hopefully Johnson is another one. Hagins plays a very creditable point guard, but he is not (in my opinion) a true point guard, and there is a difference. Shooting guards and point guards just think differently, and ought to. Josh makes the switch very well, however, and gives  Beard lots of options in mixing and matching lineups. The big plus is that with both of them in the game, we essentially have two point guards playing, and that is always an advantage. IF Johnson is the real deal, it will be one big step in the right direction.
