If he has a really good year here this year and/or next he won't be here all four.
Lindell Wigginton
- Thread starter Rio4CY
- Start date
It's early to determine who he'll play like our how long he might stay.
He played on a team of legit prospects against a lot of the best players around.
Most of the games I saw he played a lot of the time in "defer" mode and still accumulated the stats he did.
That's the reason to be intrigued about what he can do because he's playing for a coach that maximizes point guards.

Saw that that Canadian team scored something like 92 to 41. Given the stat line it looks like LW knew he didn't need to score and decided to be the game manager. A good sign that he as the PG can do both; score (had 32 in an exhibition) and facilitate and realize when to do it.
Made smart passes in this tape. Love Wiggs already, but Collin Sexton looks like a dynamo in this tape. Fun highlights to watch all-around, but they kept bringing up the recruiting by the SEC... like Cuonzo Martin will actually win anything, and Bama isn't paying anybody haha.
I don't necessarily disagree, but I also think that if you can't prove it, don't state it as fact
Watched a little over half of the game this morning, Lindell looked fantastic except for some missed free throws. Canada started off sluggish and Lindell's activity on both sides of the floor led to them taking charge of the game. Hit a 3 and another mid-ranger, other than that most of his buckets were at the rim in transition or off the pick and roll. His leaping ability and overall strength at the rim really surprised me, excellent finisher. Ended the game with 21p/9r/4a. Here are a few clips I found on twitter:
LW is going to be a complete stud..he's the type of PG that when coupled with 2 other very good players around him can take your program very very far
I thought Barrett looked really good, then I looked him up and realized he's got two more years of high school. Yikes.
Love how when he straight up stuffed that Japan player it was 19-8 Japan and next thing you know it's 29-25 Canada.
Looks like Canada advanced today in the Round of 16 with a 87-65 win over Angola. Lindell finished with 13 pts, 9 rebs, 6 assists, and 1 steal. Although he did have 7 turnovers. I'll link the complete box score below.

He's put up some nice lines but he has really shot it poorly over there. Several factors at play when in a setting like that however. His rebounding has been a nice surprise too.
