Here’s my concern with Givens. Him and chop are pretty much same player and with their size I just don’t see them playing together on court at same time. Cupps just has that dog in him so I can see him starting next year. Cupps and Givens seem to both be 4 year players. If Cupps beats out Givens is he willing to come off the bench? The other issue we don’t have a backup plan as we appear to be all in on Fland and Givens.

Boateng?

Boateng is more of a wing player (2/3) than a primary ball handler. At least that is my understanding of looking at him being listed in those 2 positions and not as a CG. I've never seen him play.

I don’t think Boateng is a PG and also as much as I love him to come to IU I still am convinced he’s going to Missouri.

I understand Boateng isn't a point, but I threw his name out there more to address @IUfaninIllinois's concern about putting all of our eggs in one basket...

Between Givens (1), Fland (1-2), and Boateng (2-3) I think we're covering the gamet on guards...

Add Newton and CJ to the 2 depth chart and I don't see a need for Cupps and Givens to be on the floor together much, at least in the near term...and there's always the portal...

I know we need more guards for depth...but it's going to be hard for a point guard to come in and run the show with a sophomore Gabe Cupps...

 I really think Cupps is going to surprise a lot of people with his hard nosed play, hustle and PG abilities.  He reminds me of a prototypical, blue collar Bob Knight player....JMO
