Paul doesn’t have to start to be effective, nor does he have to score very much.
He needs to show a willingness to take the open 3. If he sinks, say, one of three from deep, takes it to the rim for another 2 and otherwise gets to the line for 2 FTs, he’ll contribute a modest 7 points to go along with his assists and being a floor leader. We can win with a PG like that, especially if he doesn’t turn it over.
Btw, last night in 25 minutes for Iowa, Bohannon was 0-4 shooting, had 0 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 0 turnovers in a game Iowa won by 20 points over Minny.
