If games were decided by first to score, TCU would’ve been blown out.

That is a long way of answering “yes” to my question. PG was great in his last season in LA and then had a bad year. More than one year matters here, even with Jalen having an amazing year. One spot difference is nothing to get upset about. Jalen is awesome though. Been a big fan since Santa Clara
Zach Harper (@talkhoops.bsky.social) reply parent
At most he’s one spot low depending on how PG bounces back from the injuries of last year.
