Well, yeah you do. You’re like the person in the room who keeps repeating the same thing because they are insecure. It is weird.

As I said, I’m cool with differing opinions, but your incessant posting has put you in a corner. Not sure that was your intent, but you painted yourself that way.

As someone who has little insight to offer beyond your own opinions, some might proffer your constant posting is at a minimum irritating.

I don’t live on this forum so I will “deal with it”, as you say, like many who read here do.
Did you ever stop to think that I'm repeating the same things because I'm responding to someone who is either asking for my opinion or challenging my opinion?
You're trying to make it sound like I'm just randomly posting comments for no reason.

After last year we can't never have to many scorers on the court if you know what I mean. I'd love to get him.

I would love to see this lineup:
Remy
Ty Ty
Grady
Collins
Oscar
You lost me at Collins. He is super raw. I would much rather have a productive player like Toppin, maybe Brooks or a 4th guard. Collins may be able to block a few shots but he is behind in every facet of the game. He is one of Cal's typical recent freshman where he looks like a baby giraffe just learning how to walk. In a few years he will be an NBA all star perhaps but we won't see that version at UK.

True - he’s only been playing basketball for few years I believe. Is that correct?

I see you're still making friends Jeff. How many people can you argue with on here before you realize most here can't stand you?? Its not that your opinion is different either. I disagree with many in here but still respect them. You're just constantly negative amd repeat the same old drivel. Do us all a solid and delete your account. TIA

Oh damn, now my feelings are hurt because Stuway doesn’t like me, how will I ever recover?

Have him on the floor for defense think back to Anthony Davis we didn't need his scoring but man that defense was something we couldn't go without!

Lots of straw men being built on this topic. Concerns over a poor-shooting PG with the way the game is being played now are legit if you want a high-level team. If we had a PF that could step out that would help a ton. Wheeler with two bigs will be a spacing issue against good teams.
This.

I like a lot about Wheelers game. But if Cal is dead set on playing 2 bigs as he typically does, either the 4 needs to be able to shoot 3s and play outside in. Or all 3 guards need to be able to shoot.

If Brooks returns I'm expecting:
Wheeler
Tyty
Grady
Brooks
Oscar.
That's basically two strong offensive players in the lineup.

I wish that I could get excited but it's like playing 4 on 5 again.Hard to to believe we didn't have better options.

He picked up basketball at 16. Hasn't started lifting weights as of yet.

This kid is waaayyyy behind all other players developmentally in those two areas.

Steep learning curve for him.

This lineup scares me a little.

G Wheeler- can’t shoot
G Washington- good shooter
G Grady- good shooter
F Brooks- can’t shoot
F Tshiebwe

Playing a four out with two guys that can’t shoot? That concerns me.

I’d rather have:

G Washington- good shooter
G Fredrick- great shooter
G Grady- good shooter
F Toppin- decent shooter
F Tshiebwe

Surround Tshiebwe with shooters and let him go to work one on one against the other teams post man. He’ll win that matchup most every game. And if teams double down on him or sag off our guys then we shred them from 3. That’s the kind of offense I want to see. We have the weapons to do it, if Cal will just play these guys together.
