How many point guards do we need?
I think most fans are overestimating the impact Lipsey, Eli King, and Watson will have. Only 3 true freshmen in the Big 12 got consistent playing time last season (Hunter, Kendall Brown, Sochan). Those last two guys are NBA 1st rounders if they both declare. The league has become a veterans/experienced players league. You need grown men, and there will be huge adjustment periods for all 3 freshmen next season. If we want to make a leap, those guys need competition at their position. Look at Kansas. They had three top-100 guys come in last summer, and all 3 barely played the entire tourney run.
So just assume all 3 might struggle to contribute and Lipsey/King won't really play much at PG. Hunter is our starting PG, it looks like Jeremiah Williams might be a combo guard, and we should grab another combo guard. When Baylor won it all in 2021, they had 4 point guards/combo guards in their rotation in Butler, Mitchell, Teague, and Flagler. Every tournament, people talk about teams with good guard play will have an advantage. You can never have too many.
