Honestly put yourself in lard or wigs shoes.

If you are lard, do you think you are ever going to get enough minutes here? Lard is a wet dream for pretty much any coach that wants to play 4 guards. Everybody would want him,

And wigs, had a sore foot for a couple weeks and all of a sudden can’t get 20 minutes of pt and the two starting guards in front of him can’t score or guard anyone for the last 6 weeks. It’s not crazy for him to be pissed right now. What if you only get 20 minutes Again next year?

Not saying that is right for either, but it’s s big stretch for me to see either coming back. Both of them just way to talented to be playing 15 to 20 minutes.

Tucker I have no clue, he is a great player but he’s crazy to go pro. He might need 4 years of college.

You know, no matter how many times you all repeat this nonsense about lard’s game and Wiggintons minutes, it still doesn’t make it true, right?

@khaal53 Is it possible to get data on team rebounding numbers when individual players are on the floor? I’m curious about Jacobsen. He doesn’t always get many rebounds but there are guys like Brook Lopez who don’t rebound much but their team rebounds better when they’re on the court. Curious if Jacobsen actually improves our rebounding when he’s on the court despite the disappointing numbers.

I'd be even more pissed since Prohm publicly stated after Wigg came back from injury that he would soon be in the starting lineup and it never happened.

I’m hoping 2 of Conditt, Lard, and Young beat out Jacobson on the ‘bigs’ depth chart next year. Jacobson would be fine as a 2nd big on the floor, but it just doesn’t cut it to have him as the only one.

He's a spot minutes player.

I’m guessing Wigginton wasn’t getting his information from public comments. Wigginton didn’t play himself into that role, unfortunately.

At some point we’d like him in back earlier. We’ve met and we’ve talked, so that will happen at some point,” Prohm said Friday in previewing Saturday’s game. “I thought at Tech he played really well. I’m not evaluating him on making and missing shots right now. That stuff will come. It was one of his better defensive games when you really break down all these guys defensively. He’s making strides. We need him to keep coming for us to max out.”

With Wigginton, I think Prohm is in a tricky spot. I think there's no doubt when recruiting him, part of Prohm's pitch was: look what I have been able to do with previous pgs Morris, Payne, and Canaan. Come in here, play right away, raise your NBA stock, and go pro after a couple seasons.

Problem is Wigginton hasn't really raised his stock to a level where he's comfortably in the league. So it becomes an issue of is Prohm going to be honest with him, and tell him he needs to come back? And is Wigginton going to be humble enough, or trust Prohm enough that he can still raise his stock, and come back for another year.
Dude, if Wigginton declares, he won’t even get drafted. The dude had a down year and needs to work on a lot of things. No way he leaves. His stock was higher after freshman year than it is right meow.

I think Conditt's ceiling is far higher than Jacobson or Young. I simply don't see Cam Lard being here next year after all the chances, and suspensions. I'd be shocked if he is a good influence on the team's chemistry given his lack of maturity.

I don't see LW being a PG. What I see, when he plays the point is a SG playing at point. You don't see a player studying the defense for team mates that could be moving open or probing the defense for driving lanes and dish offs. I see an aggressive SG. Don't get me wrong he can be a very good SG. I just don't see an efficient or effective PG. And he's probably been told that won't get him to the NBA. Good PGs are a different breed, observant, technical, patient and selfless. Scorers when needed.

Bold take. Be prepared, because right or wrong, right now I would say it's 50/50. Some others think it's closer to 75% he goes.
