    Change my mind.

    10th in assists per game
    14th in A/T ratio

    If he were a black hole with the ball or, UT ran strictly pick and roll, his numbers would be even better.

    He doesn't play for Duke, therefore he sucks.

    Hes always had elite speed.

    The part of his game that has escalated him this year, is his ability to see the floor, know where people are and are going to be in relation to that blazing speed he has, and hes improved drastically at shooting the ball, really from all over the floor, but hes as automatic as you get when he gets 15 feet and in.

    I've said all along that he was the key to how far this team goes this year and i will stand by that.

    He has a bad game, he’s still got 10 and 5

    Got to see them play for the first time last night from fairly close seats to floor, your observations are right on IMO.
    TV does not provide justice for the play of Josh Bone.
    He's so quick, sees all the floor and is definitely in charge.
    I'm still pumped that I got to see a #1 Tennessee team play a game of any kind.
    And ..... in many years, I finally went to Knoxville to see a Tennessee W.

    Jordan at Ensworth was always back seat to Garland at BA. Lucky enough to watch them play since they were freshmen. I never saw this coming. Its all Barnes development. and Bone being as mentally tough as any pg around while busting his ass.
    Need that ankle 100% saturday

    He did his part last nite. Had as couple out of control moments but nothing to worry about.

    The positive right now is outweighing the negative substantially.

    I have watched a lot of UT basketball over the years and we have always struggled at the point guard position. CJ Watson is the last point guard we had that was really good IMO. However, Bone has taken it to the next level this year and it’s a beautiful thing to watch. I really feel he is the reason this team makes it to the final four this year.

    best pg I've seen at UT. CJ was good but didn't have the speed or midrange game

    CJ was a more consistent stud for 4 years, but peak Bone is better

    Bone has to knock Joakim Noah's teeth out to pass CJ for me.

    He’s on the same tier as CJ but they have different skill sets. I’d like to see Bone not settle for the 15ft pull ups as much and attack the rim more. When he’s on his game we’re capable of going to the Final 4

    not me. I love the elbow pullups. Why go into the trees when you can hit a free throw jumper. Plus, when he misses at the rim and ends up on the floor on the baseline the other team breaks everytime. imo his mix of attack and pullup has been instinctual and money

    Lately, just about any shot Bone takes is money. 3, elbow, drive, doesnt matter. So theres that.

    Bone left off the Cousy list
    Gonzaga Perkins, who Bone and Lamonte held scoreless, is on it, playing shit competition. As it LSU Waters, who I dont even think is the best guard on the LSU team.

    I think Bone is comparable to Mike Conley. Bone has an extra gear, Mike is a little smoother overall, but similar in style, imo.

    Bone is listed at 6'3 174
    Conley is listed at 6'1 175

    I said that about the mid-range game Bone has developed. Very Conley-esque
