Why not Luke at PG?

The kinda obvious short term solution is to let galloway start to spread the floor and rely on SJ to pick up some of the ballhandling duties. You gotta play to guy's strengths. The long term solution is to get a real starting NBA pg. Maybe RJ comes back and impresses, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

He doesn't create offensively, doesn't have the handles, can't guard points, and is a rookie to boot. Otherwise, it's a great idea.

He should be able to create his own his shot with the ball in his hands more . He's capable of a lot more as a scorer then he's been able to show here so far.

Defense and being a rookie made lead to a disaster though but Ish is got to gooo out of that starting lineup. Langston would probably be the wiser choice given he can defend though.

Either ish goes to the bench for Galloway or SJ goes to the bench and Luke and Bullock are our starting wings.
Sheeeeettt I'd even start Langston Luke and Bullock and just let Blake create and Luke be secondary ball handler that way we have 3 very good 3pt shooters in.
But Ish with the two great shooting wings works too which is a more likely SVG lineup. This way SJ can be more of a focal point of the bench

Right! He's Luke Kennard, not Brandon Roy. Maybe I'm just not seeing what some of you guys are seeing in this kid.

Galloway Bullock SJ Blake Andre
This would give us our best shot. Perimeter defense would be great. And enough shooters to spread the floor.
Ish would then be able to cause chaos off the bench and have Luke Ennis and Tolliver for his shooters.

I mean we're talking about just throwing him out there over Ish to space the floor basically. Let's not get carried away.

He's always been more of a combo guard on and off the ball to success at Duke. He has the skillset but is still just a rookie so it might get sloppy and go to crap anyways.

Yeah, but it has looked pretty sloppy and gone to crap anyways, so at some point getting the youngsters run makes sense. I agree, trying to run Luke at the 1 is folly, but to say he has no facilitation skills is also wrong. A better question to ask at this point is why our offense doesn't have more plays designed to get him good shots, and are we going to see more of this in the future? Aside from Bullock, who is a more natural shooter?
