Just thinking forward to next season, I personally think one of things we will miss most about Milt was his ball handling, he was the lead guard when he was on the floor a majority of the time (granted, we will be missing almost everything he did). Obviously Custer will have to handle the ball a majority of the time now, as him and Bruno probably ran the offense the most after Milton. But besides those two, who else do you see stepping up, Marques or Cam (Maybe Ben?) to run the offense? Or somebody I'm not thinking of? And how confident are you in Bruno after his freshman year? Personally I think he looked super poised especially for a freshman.

I think you about nailed it with your post.

If i had to guess i'd say it's likely Custer with Skokna off the bench and a sprinkling of Townes walking the ball up from time to time. I actually think Richardson's passing ability is underrated (I think league wide he's definitely our most underrated player overall), but i'm not sure he's got the handles to run point and he's probably better off playing off ball where he can find openings off the 3pt line. We were at our best last year when we were spreading the ball, and I expect that to continue next season.

As for Bruno, I really don't know how to feel. I was gonna throw up a rotation discussion at some point this week since our roster's complete, but given our depth i'm curious to see how his minutes end up. Bruno seemed to flash once every few games last season with a stellar pass, but then go dark for long stretches. He was HUGE in the game verse Evansville, but outside that he struggled to hit open shots. His game on the road was also COMPLETELY different than his game at home. He only scored 19 of his 109 away from Gentile and only 10 of those were during true road games. That said, at home, i thought he consistently was calm and collected, especially for a freshmen. He's coming off a healthy off season and i definitely think he should improve, i'm just curious what his minutes will be!

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I seem to recall Satterwhite briefly taking charge of the ballhandling duties during a stretch in one game, and thinking he had decent handles.
If I had to guess, I'd say Cam would be the third option at the point. Him or Townes.

Floored that swella honestly answered a thread titled "Ball Handling"

Custer almost always brought it up the floor when he was out there, and I expect that to continue. Really hoping that Bruno takes a step forward. I agree he looked poised out there; he just couldn't make a shot!

Satterwhite and Williamson can also help, I think.

Don't know enough about Townes to be able to say whether he can play the point.

Took the words out of my mouth. It's unlike Swella to leave such low hanging fruit. I hope he is feeling OK. Could just be juggling a lot in his personal and professional life.

Clearly, the Russians hacked my account and posted under my name.
The obvious pun opportunity was lost in translation.
In Russian "ball handling" is "Обработка шаров or
Obrabotka sharov" while "testicles" is "яйца or
yaytsa". No connection.

FYI, "Cigarboy Sucks" in Russian is "Сигарный мальчик сосет
or Sigarnyy mal'chik soset".

Now that it's fixed, I am thinking of changing my screen name to The surReal Swellafelon to prevent any further hacks.
