I'm kind of with you. I think both Bakari and CJF are legit combo guards, but I think both lean more towards the 2 spot. It is nice having two legit PGs on the roster in Connor and Toussaint though. I think we're definitely looking at an upgrade in ball handling this year with 4 guys that have played or exclusively play the point. JBo has been a legit PG and a solid, smart, ball handler for us, however, I think he'd play a lot of minutes at the 2 with this roster composition and maybe even start there later this year if he does play.
That said, I'd give it a less than 20% chance that he does play and a 0% chance of him looking like himself this year. He had that surgery really late and he's been doing zero summer conditioning/workouts as he heals. I bet he'll be practicing come November, but he won't be the JBo we know. We often take for granted how much of an absolute iron man he's been for us these past 3 years. He's played 30 minutes a game for nearly every game running almost constantly trying to get guys looks. He will absolutely not be in that kind of condition by the time the season rolls around. Speaking from experience, it will take a solid 6 months to get back to a semblance of his former self, and the end goal is to be even better by finally playing pain free. If he's smart, he should take that redshirt and use it to its full advantage to go out with a bang rather than a whimper.
