I don't think it can be Harmon. In theory, if Williams is unable to go, he's probably the player who's best suited to be our backup PG or run the point in case of injury/foul trouble. If it's not Moretti, whoever we lose will likely be a significant loss.
dont forget sencire was 4-20 from the free throw line
Pick and choose all you want....he was a FR who developed and has some game. Half the board wouldn't be on the deep end if he was still on the roster now.
So is Williams the answer at PG or no? 
I would rather see DGL bounce then Moretti. Mainly because I don't think DGL will play much anyways and then immediately transfer after this season.
I hate to say it, but that group of guards is pure doo doo. Two freshmen, two dudes that can’t shoot, and a backup-caliber two guard. You can’t win without good guard play. That group doesn’t give us that. Not next year, anyway.
He had an achilles injury, no duh he's going to miss that much time. The subject is not about how much time he missed it's what he looked like when he came back. And he's still Kevin Durant.
Age will play into recovery time as well as attitude. I think the youngster will heal faster.
I’m excited for the season regardless of what happens next. There’s so much talent that the floor is high enough to keep us from being on the bubble which is fine. The ceiling of this team is ridiculous with a true veteran point guard though which is why it’s been frustrating seeing how this has played out. JW can be good but nothing’s guaranteed between his recovery and eligibility. There’s no way boosters are satisfied right now.
He would be a graduate transfer so no
Is Sencire getting run off then?
How many non shooters can you play in a rotation? Harris is a phenomenal athlete and will be a lockdown defender but he struggle to handle to the ball and was a putrid shooter. His 20% from the free throw line doesn't suggest a ton of upside unless something drastic changes.
Rodgers shot 38.7% from the free throw line and didnt attempt a 3pt shot all season. Dainja shot 52% from the line. Williams is a 63% ft shooter for his career.
You can have one guy out there that can't shoot but having 2 on the floor at the same time is going to kill your offense because the defense can cheat off guys so much.
Yet everyone wanted Adam Miller back after his ACL injury too. It's a new age medically. Get the ball to our main guys and we will make it work. And everyone just forgets about Sencire. He's not trash at the point either.
What about Luke? Goode is a good 2 guard, and might even be the equivalent of 2 goode guards.

You must have offered her a ton of NIL $
Achilles is much more serious than ACL
My goodness I would definitely love that addition! I surely hope that could happen.
Skyy didn't look too bad after his injury. Just had to get his play back up to par. Definitely showed flashes.
Yeah, okay… RayJ isn’t Jason Kidd. But we didn’t need him to be. AND for a “journeyman” PG he $ure i$ gonna wind up a well paid one.
Maybe we’ll find a “great” replacement and maybe we won’t.
At some point we have to question if brad is too stubborn for his own good. How can he have watched that team last year and ended up in the same exact spot? He’s not putting his players in the best position to succeed. His players aren’t going to the NBA. He’s not winning in march. At some point… change it up man.
