Gotta start it...Dawson needs to be starting PG

[NersEllenson]

Let the debate begin.  Seen more fluid play from Dawson in 5 minutes than I've seen from De Will in 2 years.  De Will will be a good backup, and possible spot starter in a defender role.

[PGsHeroes32]

Dawson then Duane when ready.

Dawson just creates. Derrick does virtually nothing.

[madtownwarrior]

Dawson has shown more in 5 minutes than De Wilson thus far this season.

Should be the case, yet think Dawson very well might have been a major sleeper underrated recruit.  Could be more challenging for Du Wilson to get starting PG spot than we all anticipated..

[tower912]

Not yet.

[EnderWiggen]

Dawson and Burton both looking great!!

[chapman]

Dawson looks so comfortable out there, just needs the minutes to figure it all out.  Derrick has high major work ethic but doesn't have D1 talent.

[Markusquette]

Yeah, John is making some plays.  Nice feeds inside.  I like his game.  Oh, and he already drove and scored.

[pbiflyer]

Dawson has shown more in 5 minutes than De Wilson thus far this season.

Except that Grambling scored 20 in 5 minutes while Dawson was out there. 9 in 13 while Wilson in there. Damn facts.

[PGsHeroes32]

Wrong. Derrick was out there for a lot of the burst too. Dawson came back in a second time.

So not the damn facts.

[Newsdreams]

It will be what Buzz wants it to be.

The big asterisk is .. we're playing Grambling who is 30 games in to a 58 game losing streak, if you believe kenpom.

[Young_King]

JD is doin it

[Aughnanure]

Not yet.

This. But that doesn't mean it's too long from now.

As of the first half I'd take my chances of Dawson and Mayo.  Wilson/Thomas yet to score a fg in a game.

We can asterisk it all we want, but the reality is both Dawson and Derrick are playing against the same crappy team...and Dawson has looked immensely better than anything I've seen from Derrick in his 2 years here - and I hate to pile on our kids as I they all work their ass off and are just kids.

Now yes, it is Grambling - but I'll tell you what - Dawson has the look of a better point guard than we've had here since Diener.  Yes...a huge statement...but he's making passes that are Magic Johnson good.

[Young_King]

Dawson was slept on..... Hes about to open eyes.... quickly...

[Lighthouse 84]

Dawson has a fluid shot and good looks in his passes.

Though De Wil just had a nice pass to SJTj

[tower912]

DeWilson playing like I want a PG to play in the second half.    His defense and rebounding are better than Dawson's.....right now.   I'm not saying that DeWilson is the answer all year at the point.   Right now, he is the best option to start.

+1. I get that everyone wants the shiny new toy, but for now, at least, De Wilson should be starting.

[Young_King]

What do you Guys think about this John Dawson Kid......

He's got Size... Court Vision.... No look passes... Handle.... A nice looking Jumper... Pushed the ball well... Didn't Turn it over.... and had a beautiful spin move.....

Set up his men well.... and is only 18 years old....

[Lighthouse 84]

Did you need a separate thread for this?  You already commented in the other thread about JD

[mu_hilltopper]

Jebus .. Everyone scores a bucket but Derrick.   10 assists to hang his hat on, though.

[real chili 83]

He will be good.  Scoring will come....I think.

Seriously, he will lead us.  Saturday, I either eat those words, or DW comes through.

Remember how a bunch of folks could not wrap their head around Junior last year?  Buzz could.  We went to the E8.  I trust Buzz.

[esotericmindguy]

I don't see how you can make any evaluations from this game. A complete waste of
time. St. Thomas college in St. Paul can beat that team
