Northwestern is playing without a true point guard this season – out of necessity, not design – and things are not going very well.

The Wildcats struggle against pressure defense, and their offense has stagnated at times during their 1-5 start in Big Ten play.

In other words, they could use another Bryant McIntosh to lead this team.

Earlier this month, head coach Chris Collins offered a 2020 player he feels can come in and play McIntosh’s lead guard role for the Wildcats in the future: four-star guard Anthony Leal of Bloomington (Ind.) South, the No. 79 player in the country.
