The point guard at the controls of Mark Few’s offense carries a lot of responsibility. This has been true for the last two decades, and will continue to be true for years to come. The demands of the job require incredibly high basketball IQ, an aggressive mentality, and the versatility to be both distributor and go-to scorer.
In that context, Andrew Nembhard and Gonzaga were a match made in heaven. It’s no wonder why Few and his staff aggressively recruited Nembhard twice—missing out on him in high school before finally convincing him to come to Spokane when he decided to leave the University of Florida after two seasons.
