Crisp is shooting almost 50% from 3 in conference play this year. He’s playing well at the right time. He’s still flawed and we need a better PG, but he’s shooting well and when we need it.

Dentmon was not a good player for three out of his four years, Gaddy was either hurt or disappointing in his four years here and Andrews was not good three of his four years here. I like the idea of 15 years of good PG play but those three were only good for 2.5 of their 12 years of UW basketball. Thats a lot of shitty PG play to watch waiting for a light to come on or for the referees to give them "senior calls" like Andrews lived off his senior year. That cat scored as much from the line as he did from the floor.
Most of this is true though I’d argue Dentmon was good as a frosh as well as a senior. Gaddy being disappointing is obviously very true but it doesn’t mean he wasn’t a better at running point than Crisp was - he had huge expectations he never lived up to but he could handle the ball and distribute it far better than Crisp even if he couldn’t score anything like what Crisp does.
And while the truth that those guys weren't necessarily good until their seniors years is true, most of them played alongside another one of them earlier in their careers who was good.
(Bad PG play years in bold)
04: Will and Nate 05: Will and Nate 06: Roy and Good Dentmon 07: Disastrous PG play by Dentmon and Appleby kept us from being a tourney team with Hawes and Brockman. 08: Bad Dentmon/Appleby/Overton (mediocre year here, not the disaster of 07 by any means) 09: Good Dentmon/IT/Overton 10: IT/Overton 11: IT/Overton 12: Bad Gaddy/Wroten (Wroten had more turnovers than assists) 13: Good Gaddy 14: Bad Andrews 15: Bad Andrews 16: Good Andrews 17: Fultz 18: Crisp 19: Crisp
So basically before Crisp took over point there had been four or five seasons of bad PG play of our last 14.
So I overstated it a bit but that's 9 years of good PG at worst and I would say eight of those years (04, 05, 06, 09, 10, 11, 16 and 17) were excellent.
I'll buy this. I like talking basketball with you degenerates. We seem to be able to point/counterpoint without contracting AIDS or SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER!!!!

The free hoops bored at Dawgman was normally a refuge from idiocy as well with the occasional reese23 type exception, at least until spadoFS showed up.
