Pearl previewed Auburn men's basketball's upcoming charity exhibition against Furman
While that‘s a common cliche coaches and players of various sports use during the preseason, for Pearl, it’s to get a clearer idea of the team he has going into the 2024-2025 season.
Now, with Auburn’s first upcoming game just days away, the Tigers will have a chance to learn more about themselves in a“We don‘t know what we don’t know,” Pearl said when speaking to reporters Thursday, “and we’re going to find out a lot about ourselves in the next week.” Pearl has been complimentary of Johnson throughout the preseason, often praising his athleticism, but pointed to a few areas where he can still improve.
The other big question for Auburn is the point guard rotation, where Denver Jones, JP Pegues and Tahaad Pettiford are all in the mix. Jones and Pegues seem likely to start together, but how interchangeable the three will be is something to watch.“You can‘t sleep on Denver," Pearl said before Auburn’s first practice. “He’s getting downhill scoring. He has been our most consistent defensive guard from a standpoint of pretty much bringing it every day.
