Also think that Wigginton having such a great season at Oak Hill is going to elevate his rating even more by the end of the season. Could see him with an outside shot at getting into post season all star games. He is killing it on a loaded team.
Right now from what I have seen from Jackson I would expect Wigginton to start along side Babb next year.
Three guard lineup leaves room for all three. Not sure who would push any one of those guys out of the lineup.
Except that Jackson has been pretty bad so far. So if he is starting next year it either means he has improved greatly or the other options are worse.
I wouldn't say bad. He's had some quiet games, and a couple of great games, and his defense is always pretty good. I don't recall him having a "bad" game. His wrist is also not 100%.
Any Stats for LArd? Prohm mentioned in his presser yesterday that Lard had been playing in Prep school this semester.
Hopefully he can be like Nurse.I think Jackson will learn a lot this year and be pretty solid next year, however I'm not sure I view him as a PG. He seems like a good back up combo guard/off guard.
Hopefully Wigginton will be our primary ball handler next year. If he's the real deal, he can probably fill that role.
Hopefully he can be like Nurse.
Jackson probably isn't the type of pg you want starting in an offense in which the pg does all the handling and setting-up, but on the floor in small-ball sharing the load with 2-3 other capable guards I think he'll be fine. Hopefully he can get more consistent minutes and adjust this year. I look forward to him teaming with Wigginton and NWB. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but in some ways that's a more complete backcourt than now. I also assume we'll get some good contributions from at least one of Long, Lewis, or McNeil. Plus, if the staff has concerns about the backcourt they have a lot to sell to a post-grad.
I'm a big Nurse fan, so I'd love to see Jackson in that role. I'm hopeful he has the ability, but Nurse was so tough and confident.Nurse is a fantastic comparison in my opinion, although we'll see how Jackson develops.
Lewis had himself a game
@WisMBBYearbook Terrence Lewis (6-6) has scored 14 in a row for Riverside. Electric player. Tigers lead Arrowhead 76-68.
@WisMBBYearbook Iowa State recruit Terrence Lewis (6-6) scored 27 of his 39 points after intermission to help Riverside rally from a 16-point deficit.
@WisMBBYearbook Game MVP Terrence Lewis (6-6) of Milwaukee Riverside finished with 39 points in victory over Arrowhead.
And the son of a coach. A lot to be excited about in our future backcourt.This kid is putting up big numbers in city with good basketball tradition. TJ has a good eye for talent, so I'm expecting him to be a good player for us.
