Point guard

This is probably our strongest position (which is a very good thing to be able to say). We have some depth, and we have some experience.

First of all, we have a bona fide budding star in Markquis Nowell. It is not too often that we get legit 3-star talent in Little Rock, but this is one of them. The kid is lightning quick. Other players had better be ready, or his passes will hit them in the face.

Second, we have back Jaizec Lottie, last year's starting point guard, and he may not be ready just to cede the position to Nowell. He has something that Nowell does not have, which is D1 experience. His numbers last season were very underwhelming, but he showed enough ability in spots to make us think that improvement is likely with a good coach.

Third, Ryan Pippins and Deondre Burns both have some experience at point, at least enough that they could fill in if it came to that. Plus, both of them are experienced juniors.

Point guard is in good shape, at least relatively speaking.
