We don’t have to worry about Lindell leaving early. He will play all 4 years in college.
Wigginton
- Thread starter SWCy13
- Start date
I'll get bashed, but I think there's a better chance he goes pro after this year no matter what.
I mean yeah I guess in an ideal world that’s what he is. Right now, what does LW do at an above average level other than being a volume scorer and chuck shots? Doesn’t defend at all. Shot selection has been bad.
I agree he’s probably our most talented player, if he plays within the system and unselfishly. But right now, he’s just not very good.
I’m sure he’ll get it going at some point and then somebody can point and laugh at this thread, which I hope is the case.
Possibly could see that. Then I think he doesn’t get drafted and sticks around in the g-league taking the Curtis Stinson route
It's possible but Prohm obviously needs to get the rotation figured out. Perhaps start him and see if he gets going early and if not then his minutes go down significantly.
Who is better? Lard has more talent but hasn’t shown to be ready to take that spot yet.
We have no offense or late game strategy. That’s what lost this game.
Babb needs his PG minutes reduced; much too passive and stagnates the offense.
Agreed. He will 100% play in the G league next year
The ONLY reason he would start is to prevent a bad attitude from ruining team chemistry. Because he hasn’t done anything on the court to earn starter minutes. I think that last year was a perfect storm for him because the team needed a chucker.
Here is my overall point:
If he is the most talented player and we know he can dominant by getting into the paint and dishing as well as scoring, why not get him more involved? I am sure I am in the minority, but I think our front court does not have an advantage over other teams in the big 12. Shayok has already been ridiculed for doing the same volume shooting you are talking about. We need LW to be the
Not totally his fault but missing the front end of the 1-1 and then letting his guy blow right by him basically put the nail in the coffin.
About Wigginton....I really dislike his finger pointing when he turns the ball over and his tendency to flop for a foul. That needs to stop. He still plays out of control and that will likely continue until he realizes he's not the superstar of the team anymore. There is a ton of talent around him. I would however like to see him start over Babb. I think that could settle him down in the long run.
He’s not the best player right now- he’s the best athlete. He may be the best at hitting tough shots, but they’re still tough shots.
Utilize him more? He had the highest usage rate going into today’s game at 30.4%. That’s very high, particularly for a guy that’s never been efficient. Guys like Georges and Kane didn’t have that, and they were better at setting up teammates.
You’re referencing last year as though he played at a high level. He was a volume guy last year, and one of the biggest reasons we were bad. Teams are generally as good as their high usage guys, and ours were chuckers with low PERs
Lindell had four assists today and would have had more if players hit their shots on his kick outs after drives. He was trying to make plays, just had a tough game.
This was the second straight game where he could not get to the line because the calls were not there. When he did, he hasn't made the free throws. That's on him, but this loss is not.

He will go pro after this year no matter what because the fans have turned on him
We get really small with Wigginton in for THT. I think it could work though if you have Lard with that lineup instead of Jacobsen. Jacobsen plays kind of small for his size.
He’ll go pro no matter what, but the fans will have nothing to do with it.
If he stays another year what once was potential turns into negatives and things he lacks.
