I see having a point guard as a HUGE plus. He may only score 8-11 a game, but could easily spread around an extra 12-20 points that weren't there without a true point guard. Vernon is the first point guard we've had since Malcolm left, if the new kid is better... hip, hip, hooray (even if that is a football phrase). Both Stevie and Ethan have done admirable jobs playing the point considering it's not their natural position, but I like finally having an effective option or two at the point. OSU has had a couple not turn out/leave. Between Hunt and Vernon they should be able to provide what is needed... provided given the opportunity and the scheme is a bit more focused/polished.

I'm glad people seem to be bullish on Vernon because I wasn't overly impressed with him last year. Maybe I missed something. Not that he was terrible or anything, but He was too timid and didn't seem to have the quickness to over come his size. Honestly based on last year I don't see him as much more than a back up going forward -- but I will be thrilled to be wrong. On the plus side he didn't turn the ball over much (though he didn't often push the pace either), shot the 3 well (though in very limited attempts) and, my favorite, hit his FTs (18 of 18). Would love to see him take a step forward and for Hunt to give the Beavs some productive minutes this year.
