Hoiball, unknown to most critics, isn’t dependent on a point guard to run sets.
While Fred Hoiberg is blessed with an explosive point guard like Derrick Rose to bring the ball into the front court for the Bulls and be the primary attacker. At Iowa State, this duty fell on tweener power forward Georges Niang.
You wouldn’t believe that seeing that Iowa State has the requisite two guards in their lineup. But, if you watch how the Cyclones rocket their offense from the defensive rebound into the front court, the man bringing up the ball and being the focal point of sets would be Niang.
