Greg Paulus relates to JaQuan Lyle. While at Duke, Paulus experienced a lot of the same things Lyle did last season when he was Ohio State’s freshman point guard. Paulus has been there before.
It’s precisely why Paulus, now an assistant coach with the Buckeyes who just finished his fifth year in the program — the third as an assistant — since his playing days ended with the Blue Devils, flashed a smile when he was asked about the current Ohio State point guard who just wrapped up his freshman year.
The two have a unique relationship.
