I agree that Zoom does not seem to be certain how he fits in with this team at this point, but to say that Wilkins isn't an SEC level guard is simply wrong

little rock: 4-12 FG, 2-8 3FG
texas tech: 3-9 FG, 2-7 3FG

33% from the floor, 26% from three. 71% of his shots are threes. no versatility to his game. volume shooter. bad shot selection. turnover prone...7 in two games.

Did you actually watch the game? His defense in the ladder half of the first half literally turned the game around. His back-to-back killer three is put up to any hope of a comeback. He also had key assist as well, and that was from games that he didn't play all that great

i did i guess you didnt. wilkins have played about 55mins in two games. the positive moments you mentioned are probably 5 mins in those 55. if you think that is good enough for an SEC guard than we will just agree to disagree.

38-2 is the floor. 40-0 obviously being the ceiling

Some guys just look at stat lines and the bad stuff. They pay zero attention to the whole game.

It's the usual suspects. They always pick one player to bash relentlessly. If you look at the Tom Leach highlights, he shows up a lot either when he scored or making assist or defense.. He had some horrendous turnovers and there's no excuse for that but I think people focus on that and ignored everything else. If Pope can learn to incorporate his outstanding mid range game that adds another dimension to this team.

Some people do bash which is stupid and others have legitimate valid concerns for his play. He was one of the major reasons why we were down and lost our ten point lead. When he was on the bench we played better and grew our lead. That is a valid and verifiable evidence. He will play but as of now he should not be the starter and Mason and Wilkins deserve his minutes more.

going 1-7 for 24 minutes with 3 turnovers and just ignoring it because in the final minutes you hit 2 threes, then telling other people they pay zero attention........wild

He's a junior.
How many college games does he have under his belt?
He's who he is as a player at this point in his career.

Here is a look at his career ...

I can't wait to bring this thread back to life in January.

You guys just never learn, do you? Do you honestly think a chiseled, athletic, 6'6" guard, is just going to struggle all year long?

It's f*cking October. You guys would have a point if this was February. How weak minded can you be? Heck, look how good we looked even with Zoom struggling, just wait until he develops. Jesus.

We have some of the dumbest fans, but it's great entertainment honestly, especially when they try to use the tired old "give me my plate of crow". Oh trust me, it's coming, you guys make it too easy.

He will find his groove, sometimes it takes longer for things to come together. He averaged almost 16 points a game right at 5 assists and around 4 rebounds a game. We haven’t had those numbers from our point guards lately. There was a lot of interest from multiple programs for him, coming to Kentucky from somewhere involves a lot more pressure and demand. His second game here you have a bunch of people all over him saying he can’t play. All of those others schools can’t be wrong about him, how about we support him instead of beating him down.

His defense and decision making off screens changed the whole game. Went to bench for bad plays and came back better. Sign of a good player. Offense isn’t only part of basketball.

Milan is just coasting right now. He passed up several shots he normally would take. He will let those fly in season. He’s a senior he knows these games mean close to nothing so work on driving it a little more and stuff. He also will get post ups like he did when him and Moreno inverted and Moreno post fed him.

We better hope so.

you mean the multiple times on defense when he selfishly cheated off his man in the corner to get a steal but gave up wide open threes.....you are right. all conference guard for sure! lol

Love a good hater. I can tell you just casually watch the game and don’t see what’s going on. Wilkins on ball d at the top changed the game when he came back in. Especially when they kept trying to go middle PnR. That’s why at one point they went away from the man he was guarding and started trying Mason. Heaven forbid a guy go for a steal. Immediately means he’s awful. Milan left his assignment first 2 possessions on the back end PnR for dunks. Guess he’s trash too.
