Weber is still hoping Crandall Head can develop into a point guard

A pair of reserves (last season) expected to slide into bigger roles (next season) enjoyed promising nights. Crandall Head showed his smooth athleticism, if he was careless with the ball at times. He had 11 points, five assists and three turnovers in 17 minutes.

Weber said he still is hoping the 6-foot-5 Head can develop into a point guard later in his career -- a testament to his potential and the need for more point guards in the program.

"He can do some things no one else can do. He just goes too fast at times," Weber said. "He had three turnovers. If we can just cut that down a little bit, he's got great potential, there's no doubt."
