“He’s the No. 1 point guard in the country, so giving him the basketball is kind of an easy decision,"

A lot of talk about "point guard", "ball handler" and "running the offense".
Who will have the ball in their hands.

This quote from HC Pike seems pretty definitive:
Harper, meanwhile, got to the rim seemingly at will and consistently set up shooters for good looks along the perimeter. When Pikiell was asked about handing the keys to his offense to a freshman, he didn't mince words.
"He’s the No. 1 point guard in the country, so giving him the basketball is kind of an easy decision," the coach said.

As I've suspected, the top PG prospect in the NBA draft who is being compared to James Harden is likely to have the ball more often than not.

JMike isn't the backup PG. JWill is. If Harper is out of the game, then JWill will have the ball.
JMike appears to be the 3rd PG and likely(hopefully?) never in the game without JWill and/or Harper also being in the game.
I would imagine HC Pike splits up minutes so either Harper and/or JWill are in the game at all times.

This also appears to push JWill off-ball more when on the court with Harper - which is a different discussion of role and fit.
When Geo was brought in, the discussion around Mulcahy changed to "how does his skillset fit as an off-ball player next to a PG/Geo?"
Seems a similar situation might occur with JWill if Harper is leading the offense mostly.

Jaded like most about the realignment stuff and don't have much faith the SEC/B1G would allow it, but this is a pretty cool design IMO. It would be a lot like the old Big East, both in terms of opponents and the high number of OOC games, and I think crucially separate football from the rest of the college sports ecosystem.
