Of the Juniors on this list, Ky Bowman seems to be the most likely to explore options other than retuning to his current school. Him and Norvell would be a high scoring backcourt!

He put up 25/8/12 vs Louisville Wednesday night.

True. But why play mind games, why not just start and play the best player? I just don't get that line of thinking. No biggie though, I guess.

I need to see Watson play a game or two in college before I'm ready to say hes better than Kispert. I would be really surprised if he was a better 3 as a freshman. I think he will get there but I see him playing more of the 4 like Rui and then developing into a SF.

I don't think it's mind games as much as just something that Coach Few tends to do. Like you said, it's no biggie in the end.

Knowing and executing the system are real and valuable things. Kispert will almost certainly start over Watson, even if Watson has better skills (big assumption), and it's not because the coaching staff is irrational.

is it?

"Of the Juniors on this list, Ky Bowman seems to be the most likely to explore options other than retuning to his current school. Him and Norvell would be a high scoring backcourt!"
Assists to t/o ratios, this year & career, are surprisingly low for such a superior ballplayer.

We have seen how hard it is to play effective team defense in this system. Rui finally got it this year. Petresuv is late on rotations. Kispert is looking much better but took awhile. Someone like Watson could be ready offensively but not defensively. I think it would be a high expectation for him to jump Kispert as a starter early on next year

Why do you think he is a grad transfer?

You’re asking the wrong guy, Harryzag posted it. I just responded to his post. But if a junior graduates in three years he can immediately be a grad transfer as well. I guess that is what he is speculating. He would be amazing if it were true.

A couple of things from twitter tonight:

William & Mary’s Justin Pierce, a two-time all-CAA guy, told @Stadium he will leave as a grad transfer. Put up 14.9 points, 8.9 boards and 4.1 assists this season.

Since I tweeted this out two hours ago, Justin Pierce has heard from AZ, ND, Ohio St., NW, Illinois, BC, Stanford, USC, Michigan, Wisconsin., Butler, Gonzaga, Ga Tech, DePaul, Nevada and Ole Miss.
Safe to say he’ll be a highly sought-after grad transfer.

interestingly, NOT a guard.

A 6'7 pg!
I like to see how these low major guys do against big boy competition, but Bill and Mary only played Notre Dame and Virginia and Pierce didn't play vs ND and laid an egg vs UVA, 3 points, 4 rebs, 0 assists. He did have a monster game vs James Madison, 14 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists vs James Madison. I dunno, he's a ridiculous rebounder for a guard, but he only shot 33% from three. He's good, but I think we can do better. I think if Ky Bowman or Sam Merril do become available, that's who we should go after.

What makes you say that? He's their starting pg, he just happens to be 6'7.

that was based on kenpom's listed position (pf). guess he's not such a great source for that. gotcha.

No biggie

This is from a preview of his team before the season:
Pierce, a 6-foot-7 junior wing, broke his right (shooting) wrist during the offseason. Shaver is hopeful he’ll be ready to play in the season opener Nov. 7 against High Point.
The obvious hole in the lineup is at point guard, where David Cohn had a remarkable senior season. Cohn led the CAA in assists and was the only player in the nation with shooting percentages of 50 from the field, 40 from the 3-point arc and 90 from the free-throw line.
Doesn’t sound like a PG, especially for a top 20 team.

You said it yourself, it was a preseason preview. He stepped in and became their point guard. I don’t know what to tell you.
Zag for Life
Just watched 4 W&M game highlights. I feel very comfortable saying he is not a Pg. He doesn’t usually initiate the offense, drive into the paint or guard the other team’s point. He is a good passing 2/3. I feel even more comfortable saying he is not Gonzaga’s next PG. On that I think we can agree.
Banned
he led the team in apg with 4.1, the player with the second most apg is their big man, who is actually a pretty good player. Pierce had 8 assists vs JMU, 9 assists vs Charleston, 8 vs Hofstra, etc. No other player on the squad comes close to his assist numbers. He's listed asa guard on ESPN, but call him a point forward, if you want, I don't care. But, on your last point, we agree, he's not gonna be a Zag.

I mean if we reached out, there is still a chance I suppose. It's not a guarantee that Norvell returns so if he leaves, he could be an option for depth at the 2 and a guy that can help facilitate the offense. But I can't see him being the solution to the PG position.
