Throughout this past season, many of you, including me, questioned whether or not Jaelan Sanford was a “true” point or rather a Wing Player. As the following final statistics bare out, it looks like Jaelan had a “productive” season in his first full year as a Point Guard:
Minutes Per Game Played 35.9
Points Per Game: 13.6
Assists Per Game: 3.14
Turnovers Per Game: 1.85
2 Point Shooting Pct: .455
3 Point Shooting Pct: .392
Free Throw Shooting Pct: .726
With that said, it will be interesting to see what Coach K does next season at the Point Guard position with the continued development of Sanford and Justin Roberts, and incoming Freshman Marreon Jackson's “readiness” to play.

Coach K said many times that Sanford IS a point guard. Since we don't have a returning 2G, why not move Sanford if Jackson is ready to play. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have two guys on the floor that have PG attributes than one? Considering Sanford's size, wouldn't giving him extra freedom on the floor easily increase his scoring?

Yes to this.

I think it will also depend on the development of incoming Freshman, Dwayne Rose Jr. as a 2 Guard.
Sanford may not ever be Juice but I think he'll be a big time scorer as his career progresses.

Except everything I read about Rose says he isn't much of an outside shooter.

Even he has implied that himself on one of his interview videos posted on this Board.
I really cringe at the thought of 2 of the 3 freshmen red-shirting next season.

I don't see Rose redshirting not specific reason or info I just don't see it they will need his athleticism on the court

I agree with you. But I hope his minutes on the floor provide greater contribution than simply buying minutes--we already had that this season with Roberts, who really could have benefitted from a RS season, imo.
I wonder if Justin Roberts will be back next year. In the postseason game, Adway started and played 18 minutes, and that was even though Zach Garber was available and got 11 minutes. Roberts, on the other hand, played only 5 minutes even though one of our guards was suspended. Rather than play Roberts, Coach K opted to play Sanford for 40 minutes and Lauf for 39 minutes out of position. That can't be a good sign as to Coach K's opinion about Roberts' potential to help the program next year.

I think Roberts should have red-shirted with Gordon. Neither were ready for D-I. If Roberts comes back, I think his minutes will go down as the season progresses and simultaneously Willie Jackson becomes eligible and Rose, Jr. gains experience (I'm just automatically assuming that Marreon Jackson will start).
Roberts was an OK defender on the dribble, but his size hurt him when guards posted up. Rarely was he an offensive threat. Going forward, it's hard to see him becoming an every-game starter or key reserve in his remaining seasons. Is he OK with that? Or, would TK pull his scholarship involuntarily (doubtful given who his dad is)? My guess is he's back next season.
Fletcher will be the two man next yr. W rose backing up. W Jackson will be the 3, both of them w Navigato will flex between the 2, 3, 4 spots. I think Adway will have a chance to start at the 4 but will be pushed if we add donnal or a ready to play big or if Logan Hill comes in ready.. Knapke starts at the 5 although he may play more of a stretch 4. I see Sanford at the point with M Jackson playing a lot and allowing Sanford more crest and some stretches playing a wing. Roberts plays the right way. He won't get any bigger but he has been enough heart, skill and knowledge of the game to be a useful role player and practice guy. Certainly a deeper team, but will need the 2 transfers to play well and Sanford to play more clutch to win those close games. Hopefully, we add a big guy who can defend.
I would hope Adway and Knapke add more strength and some weight. Adway has to add some mid-range to his game as he will never be a post up player only. They need to use Antunez scholarship if he isn't going to be able to contribute to add more depth.
Adway will have to grow to define an offensive role for himself. He will also need to defend stretch 4 types who can shoot 3s a lot better

I would say possibly a deeper team, not certainly. Last spring, we thought that this year's team would be deep with Dzierzawski, Antunez, Roberts, Knapke, and Adway. Of those five, only Knapke came close to living up to fans' expectations. I remember speculation that Garber wouldn't be good enough to see the floor on this year's team. My point is that, just like last year, we are assuming that untested players will make significant contributions. In the case of guys like W. Jackson and Fletcher, who have already shown they can play DI ball, that assumption makes sense. With Adway, Roberts, and the incoming freshmen, all we can do is hope.

K has NO IDEA what a PG is. Juice was NOT a PG. He was. SG with PG size. Much like the Suckeyes, no PG play. This team would have been much better with Roberts running more PG and Sanford and Williams at the wings. When teams gave us any pressure, Sanford was nervous and a TO waiting to happen.

Juice was definitely a point guard, in my opinion. He has the second most assists in school history behind only Tim Reiser.

And...? Juice played with a STACKED roster. Started all 4 years. Numbers are going to be higher. He was a 2 guard in an undersized 1s body. Made no one better. Looked for his own. Not a slam, hell of a player... one of my favorites. There is a reason Boothe didn't come to the scene until Sr. year... and it wasn't development.
