Everyone is entitled to their opinion including our leader, his son, and his wife. Those who call him our Savior are often (not always) being sarcastic or demeaning. I put more credence in our head coach's opinion than those who don't see him everyday. While I only think he's a piece to the puzzle, he's an important piece.

So many on here still want to play down what Conner will bring to this team. I thought that it was interesting that Lynn Marshall spoke so highly of him on Bob Lutz's radio show. Evidently Gregg feels the same way. But all we see on these threads are that Conner won't be one of the answers. We are at least one week away, but I think that Conner will make a huge difference and if Fred heals, we will have found our offense. Our post players still concern me (without Anton Grady), but we do have a couple who will have to come along or we will have to play four guards.

When and where do I find Lutz's show?

Count me as one that thinks Conner will be a big asset for our team. Savior is a little overboard, but he very well could be the point guard of the future. 3Gs teams find success starting with high level point guards and we're now seeing what happens when we don't have one on the court. Next year, we have Conner and Daishon Smith. I for one think we'll be back on track with that tandem running the point.

A month ago Connor seemed like he would be one more piece of the puzzle to play with. With Landry out for 2 more months or more and FVV still possibly out or slowed in early December Connor's debut looms much larger. For starters I want someone who Ron can dump it too when doubleteamed who will make the other team pay. I think Connor is that guy.

I'd prefer to have someone dump it to Ron in his normal position at the 2 guard, or the 3 wing.

My biggest hope is that CF is not garnering the "best shooter ever" tags simply because he is shooting against teammates who have yet to show they can guard the 3-point shooters. We know CF can shoot when not guarded. Hopefully he can find himself open often enough to satisfy all of us.

It is ok to be late to the party. I have confidence in Three G.

Yes. My thought in that regard (as Steve Shogren used to say) was that with a really good point guard (Fred of course), Anton would have received passes at better spots on the floor to be successful. Most of the passes were coming to him in positions where he always had to make one on one moves against taller players. While he is capable of making some of those moves and baskets, he could have benefited from some easy baskets for his confidence. I saw enough against Tulsa, to feel like he would come out of it.
