Dan, Mr Shamet has a 2:1 A:TO ratio. Just because he have Conner and had Fred, two of the best in the country at limiting TOS, doesnβt mean that Landryβs two per game arenβt very good. I canβt imagine an NBA scout saying, βLandry Shamet could really help our team, but he turns the ball over twice per game. He will be somebody elseβs problem.β

I haven't seen Landry shooting up any draft boards and most still have him as a 2nd round pick. I think he stays and gets his degree (next years would be his 4th year) unless that changes.

I agree with Dan and Stick. Unless Landry is projected well into the 1st round, I believe he comes back and I think he moves back to the 2, but only when A-Lo is on the court at the same time. That being said, I think A-Lo eases into the position, much like Fred did, which wasn't until late in his freshman season when he started to get really meaningful minutes. Regardless, I am really excited about the addition of A-Lo to the roster next year.

One of the biggest problems we have (which is obviously relative, considering we're a Top 10-15 team without McDuffie) is that we lack team speed. Our bigs are slow, and Landry as a point guard and initiator of the offense isn't the fastest with the basketball in his hands. Alex is fast. And combining him with Chance Moore (who will be the best NBA prospect on the team once Landry leaves, IMO) will be really fun to watch. They'll be freshmen, but that combo will be able to fill it up at times, especially combined with SHJ."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards Deming

Every PG we have going forward will be compared to Fred. At some point, we will bring in a guy that overtakes Fred as the best WSU PG of all time. Only time in the saddle will give someone that designation but this guy has the tools to get me excited.

Memphis East has lost 3 close games in a row, all to good competition. University (FL), Olive Branch (MS) and Chicago Simeon (IL). Lomax did have a triple-double, 13 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in the loss to Chicago Simeon last night.

There is a E:60 Pictures showing from time to time on ESNWS called Penny Saved. Lomax has some comments during the show. It might provide some insight on why it was difficult for him to make the decision to leave Memphis.
it came out in 12-16 so this may be old news.
