Howard is Starting

Didn't expect this one, though all I hear are good things about this kid on and off the court. Eager to see him play.

I have absolutely no worries about Markus.    I don't even care if he continues to start even if Traci plays better.   I like bringing talent off of the bench.     Howard will be fine.    Just don't expect miracles every night.

How many young guards struggle with the defense required at this level - I have low expectations for the guy and expect he will exceed them.

So ... what you're saying is that you have high expectations that Markus will exceed your low expectations? Nice!

Couldn't agree more tower.  It's a luxury that we have a 17 year old kid who has a chance to grow at his own pace, especially at college basketball's most important position.

Sorry not my most articulate thought.  What I meant is that I have very low expectations for freshman guards - particularly because of the difficulty of defense.  Marcus seems fine/ahead of schedule based on what we have seen so far.  Based on what everyone says those expectations may be too low and exceeded. 

Better?
