Hopefully dan can get that up to 7 assists and 2 steals per game. Not concerned with his scoring. He can put up 6ppg and I'm happy if he can run the offense and play defense.

Muller compared him to PLee. That's high praise, and someone who did all of the things you mentioned.

I agree that if Jefferson, Copland, and Boyd are all here we are off to a good start at guard for next year. Hein, will also be back. Whether you like him or not he will certainly bring experience and leadership. Horne will have time to come up to speed.JHBird said:isuquinndog said:He was a better PG than anyone else on the roster this second.

I would've loved to seen EC this year, to see how much he developed. I'm not sure he'd be as good as Jefferson right now, but we could still use him. I liked how physical EC played, somebody not afraid to take it to the rim. As or Horne, not sure what we can expect out of him the first year. I like how Copeland is playing lately, and Jefferson too. I think our starting guards are set for next year. Seems like Jefferson could be a good PG. Not sure how much he's done that in the past. He's quick and smart, and makes some good passes off the dribble.

D.J. Horne 6’2 PG Trinity Christian (NC)/Garner Road (Illinois State commit) | A Missouri Valley Conference star PG in the future. Spending many years at Tulsa with Tubby Smith, I’ve seen star guards in the Valley and DJ Horne fits that mold. Horne is the ideal example of a guard that gets out of North Carolina and makes his mark in finding successful at the right fit. Illinois State got a steal with this one. A scoring lead guard that can be a facilitator or playmaker. He has had several 30+ point outings at Big Shots over the years, also can spoon-feed his side scorers. What we like most about Horne is his competitiveness and passion for the game. He is a guy who will always give it his all on the court. He can play above the box in blocking shots or finishing at the rim. Plays with pace and gear changes quickly allowing him to blow by defenders. At Big Shots Raleigh NC Top 150 he was a top overall performer scoring 11 points in game 1 and 21 points in game 2, with scratches in all statistical categories. One of the top point guards in NC’s 2019 class.
This sounds encouraging. Can’t wait to see him in a Redbird Uniform.BTbird said:https://bigshots.net/2019-all-stars-big-shots-nc-top-150/

Then look it up. If you're going to claim his numbers aren't good enough for you, then it's on you to prove your point.
Jsnhbe1Birds said:Assists are bad. I'd expect at least 7 (then coach him up to 10-12) from a guy you think can be a future PG.

Coach him up to average 10-12 assists per game?
According to Max Preps 3 guys in the nation for high school basketball average between 10-12 assists per game. Also only about 21 guys averaging 7 assists per game too. Not much coaching up happening in the United States.
