It will be very interesting to see how they bring FVV along next year with Seniors Mal Armstead and D-Will available. My guess is that FVV will share the point guard duties with Mal and D-Will will play primarily at the 2. With FVV filling the starting point guard role for his final 3 years. Mal would seemingly have an early advantage of having practiced in 3G's system for a year. Possible that FVV will be good enough to grab the starting point guard job from the get go. The nice thing is we have the luxury of not having to force FVV into that role if he needs some grooming and learning.

If you guys want to discuss top point guards at WSU, just start a new thread in the basketball forum. I'm sure it would be a great thread actually.

FVV kind of reminds me of
Paul Guffrovich. Here's a brief writeup on Paul in high school in Nanticoke, PA.
From: http://www.gnasd.com/2005top100athletes.htm
"Paul Guffrovich had one of those "what if?" high school careers at Nanticoke Area. As in, "what if Guffrovich played after the PIAA adopted the three-point line?"
A year after Guffrovich graduated, the PIAA instituted the three-point shot (19-feet, 9 inches) but during his career with the Trojans from 1984-87, Guffrovich regularly drained jump shots from 20-25 feet away from the basket. The 1987 Division I MVP following his senior season with the Trojans, Guffrovich set the school record for career points with 2,271. He averaged 32.6 points per game during his senior year and, as a sophomore, helped lead Nanticoke Area to the PIAA championship game where the Trojans fell to Erie Strong Vincent.
Coaches in the Wyoming Valley Conference tried a variety of defenses to slow the slick shooting point guard, who was also an outstanding defender and passer. Guffrovich consistently saw a box and-one or triangle-and-two defenses. But nothing seemed to work and Guffrovich always found a way to get his points. He ranks eighth in District 2 and fourth in the WVC on the all-time scoring list.
After receiving a scholarship to Wichita State University, he finished his careen 5th on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,247 points.
His role varied with the Shockers, either being counted on to hit the three-pointer or being relied upon to distribute the ball. He is the school's all-time leader in career three-point field goals made with 144. He is sixth all-time in assists with 383 and fifth in three point shooting percentage at 43.4. He is also fourth all-time at WSU with 114 steals and second in free throw percentage at 83.5.
DID YOU KNOW?
In high school, Guffrovich was a standout baseball player.
Guffrovich ranks 30th on the state's all-time scoring list.
He was a four-time All-Missouri Valley Conference Academic selection.""I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:
