When Bryce Drew took the Vanderbilt job in April 2016, the Commodores didn’t really have a point guard. Wade Baldwin IV was leaving for the NBA, Riley LaChance was more of a two, and incoming freshman Payton Willis was a combo guard (but really a two.)
Unsurprisingly, the first two players that he added were point guards, though neither played in 2016-17. That year, Vanderbilt got by with LaChance as the point guard, but transfer Larry Austin Jr. was going to be eligible in 2017-18; and in June, Drew picked up a commitment from a rising point guard from Arizona named Saben Lee.
