No surprise about Sam. I'm fine with Baylor, too. Probably trying him out for the secondary playmaking.

Not what I would do but working so far.
I’d have Hugo and Walsh or at least one in there.
BS playing well though.
Jordan Walsh goes top 10 in a 2023 redraft.

Just once I'd like to see Baylor catch fire. He really did that one game last year.

Yeah I wouldn't have thought that it would work.
But, we do need the 2nd Ballhandler. Keep Simons "burning" off the Bench.

I think Joe wants to have one of White or Simons out there all the time as a PG, so he staggers them.

Simons, the only PG on the floor.
Hugo might be helping out.

I hope Walsh learns to put it on the floor this coming off season. It would really expand his game.

I'm just not a fan of Hauser Starting. I can see one of them, but wouldn't have guessed both.
