2. Can Kevin Punter handle the point?
Barnes consistently says that this will be more of a point-guard-by-committee approach with all of the guards and wings needing to know how to handle the ball well. But somebody needs to bring the ball down on a consistent basis and at least get the offense started, and it appears that Kevin Punter will handle that duty more than anybody. Richardson made a successful transition to handling that job last year, and now Punter, who will also be relied on to score on a regular basis, will be the man getting the Vols started on offense this year.
