Creighton has rebuilt its backcourt, but Alan Huss still does not have a point guard answer. That was the clearest takeaway from men's basketball media day in Omaha on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026, where the coach pointed to depth without naming a starter for the role that runs the offense.
For readers searching Iowa State basketball today, the draw here is the same one that pulls attention to any roster on the eve of a season: who handles the ball when the games start to count. Huss said he has plenty of options, which means the question is not whether Creighton can fill the spot, but which player will claim it first.
The portraits from media day captured the group most likely to be in that mix. Jasen Green, Shane Thomas, Fredrick King, Wesly Rosa, Kayden "Bugg" Edwards, Wes Enis, Isaac Traudt and Jackson McAndrew all posed in Omaha as the program presented a new look around the perimeter. Edwards, in particular, was among the players front and center as Creighton showed off a backcourt that has been remade rather than merely adjusted.
That is where the story gets interesting. A team can have options and still lack a clean answer, and that is the position Huss is in now. Plenty of bodies can compete for the job, but point guard is not a committee role once the season begins; someone has to settle the offense, bring the ball up, and own the possession when pressure rises.
What happens next is the part Creighton has not yet made public. Huss did not say when the job would be decided, and the uncertainty leaves one of the most important minutes-by-minute decisions of the season still open as the team moves out of media day and toward the start of play.
