I hope the focus is on keeping him and Russ Tchewa in place. If either of those guys head for the portal right now . . . well, let's just not think that way. Everyone else is free to go, well, Sam Hines could develop into a nice role player. Edited April 5, 2022 by Dave_Glaser 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it could end up being addition by subtraction. If Gregory was committed to him playing PG during his time here, I doubt we were looking at much success. Quite honestly, he seems like a player without a position. He's not a guy who can run an offense from up top. He isn't a difference-maker on the defensive end like Rideau was - creating turnovers and easy transition baskets. You can't rely on him to make free throws at the end of a game to close it out. He doesn't shoot it with enough range or consistently enough to be an off guard or a small forward. If he had stayed and continued at PG, it's highly unlikely that he would have made a mark or even been considered among the school's top 10 to play the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A create your own shot guy generally does not fit in that offensive philosophy and Gregory has not really done anything to tailor the offense for Murphy’s game (or seemingly coach Murphy to fit in the offense) As such, this is probably not a loss at this point, since he was not being used effectively anyway that is what you call it!!!!!! there is no style there is no motion and there is no offense and we arent princeton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him leaving makes no difference whatsoever. They will be terrible until BG or MK or both are gone. true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player without a position is absolutely spot on, a guard that can’t shoot Free throws and the 3 is a liability in some instances. We really only have about 4 guys that should even be at this level and he was one of them, this is really the only reason why some of us are disappointed.
