(I swear, at some point I’m going to finish this series.)
When Bryce Drew took the Vanderbilt head coaching job in April 2016, the Commodores didn’t have a point guard on the roster. Wade Baldwin IV had just entered his name in the NBA Draft. Riley LaChance could kinda-sorta fake point guard at times, and then-incoming freshman Payton Willis was seen as a combo guard at best, and really more of a shooting guard.
That problem wasn’t fixed in time for his first season in Nashville, but Drew addressed it for 2017-18 with the addition of Larry Austin Jr.
