I think Duane is going to be more than fine - I think he is our best option at the point my far right now - not even close in my book. He's not even halfway through his red-shirt freshman year after all. He can drive and dish or close the deal himself. Does he need to clean things up a bit - yes, but again, IMO, he is the clear cut best option right now.
They all don't start, but I like these guys getting starter minutes - Duane, Matt, JJJ, Luke, Juan.
When the recruiting is done, and next season starts, Duane may be our best option at point guard. You have to plan for what you have, not what you hope to have.

I think Duane can be a solid point guard by next year. His role this year is basically as PG3 on a team with two senior points. He can be a little loose with the handle, but a year's seasoning should help sort that out. He still has a decent A/T ratio (29/22) considering he's being asked to play more as a 2/3 most of the time.
Looking ahead, a starting 5 with Duane, Jajuan, Ellenson, and Fischer at four of the positions gives me a lot of confidence. Not sure who else will emerge, but this team could be very fun, especially if they can add a grad transfer or JUCO that can contribute immediately.
