What this team lacks (BB)...

Is a point guard like USC had with Claude. He controlled the whole game on both ends of the floor. He was aggressive on offense and either made plays in the paint (or made perfect dishes) off. Worster is mediocre at best and while Sam can make some nice plays, he's not physical enough to force the action. Claude was the best player on the floor last night.

Below is something I posted in October, back when we were discussing what to expect from this season. I wish I had been wrong about NU not having any PGs, but sadly the position is even more thin than I thought at that time:

And we've got some point guards this year so that is always a plus!

Not so sure about that. I would say there's a lot of depth at the combo guard spot, and we just need to hope at least one of them can effectively run the point.

Not down on any of those guys - I just don't really see them as PGs.
