One of the first things Wichita State basketball fans are going to notice about the 2016-17 team is that there’s no Fred VanVleet at the point.
VanVleet was a Shocker forever, it seems. And everyone took comfort in his steadiness and ability as a point guard. With Fred in charge, everything was A-OK.
So now what?
It’s a new season and the Shockers are still in the process of weaning themselves off of the point guard who guided them so adeptly the previous four seasons.
What can provide comfort is the way Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall has smoothly moved from one point guard to the next during his Shocker run.
