Diallo and Wilkins

Love Wilkins, not a fan of Diallo. However, Wilkins is a great shooter so that may make up for Diallo’s lack there of. Although I will say, both are excellent passers.
I love guards who are willing passers
They’re not as good as Oweh and Aberdeen, IMO
Thomas and Dumars. Diallo and Wilkins. I'm feeling it
I wouldn't say great shooter, but pretty good. Should take a small step forward with that this year.
Good God UK fans are insane. Of course it’s not. Maybe top 20ish
You don't know what you're talking about. This has us on the verge of 40-0.

Very possibly a top 5 in the SEC back court.
Not being snarky. That's a big step forward.

Easily the craziest fanbase in the country - something good happens and they are immediately creating artificial expectations to go crazy around.
It's basically whey every other fan base loves see bad things happen to us, because they watch the melt downs happen. And this is part of the problem.
Well you are wrong. Oweh was in no way a guard .
Our guards were Chandler and Aberdeen and this is a huge improvement.
It takes one commitment from a player to change the board’s perspective. Nice going.
Didn’t you consider Oweh as a 3? I think you should be comparing them to Aberdeen and Chandler.
Love seeing you mad. Make one of your dog sh*t passive aggressive sarcastic posts.
Watching these guys play separately in game footage I found myself thinking: Their games really mesh. This could be a case of synergy, where they each are better than the very good players they have been playing with the other.
Both have good size, decent quickness, very good vision, deceptively good ability to get to the rim. I can see them being really elite together and giving defenses huge headaches.
There are concerns, but I’ll leave that to the “Anons” to voice. I like this tandem.

It’s too early to be sure when other teams haven’t finalized their rosters, but my gut says no to them being a top 5 duo. They’re solid, and I like the thought of having two guys on the floor at once who can both create for others. They’re both poorly rated defenders with questionable outside shooting though. They’ll likely have to show they can improve in one or both of those areas to get us back into the national conversation.
Wilkins is Lebaron Philon type guard. I'm not saying he's that good, but he will go get buckets
Or, are they both mid-range and back your guy to the basket guys, low 30's on the three. that will make defenses sag? And cancel each other out?
Both 6’5. Both can create for themselves or others. No idea if they will be top 5 elite but this will be the best pure backcourt we’ve had under Pope.
Yeah they are. DA is a good player but not a PG. OO is a good player, but not a great shooter at any level except going to the basket. Talent may be similar but these two fit together far better
If you all haven’t figured it out, the OP is troll. Just don’t engage and he might go away.
I keep trying to tell people. I don’t throw around the word troll. This one is obvious. I really hope the mods are paying attention. Dude is here to cause trouble and nothing else.
I keep thinking about John Wall and Eric Bledsoe. They both came in as point guards and Eric played the position that he had to and went on to the NBA.
Can’t sag either guy. Both good catch and shoot guys and both can get to their spots quickly for efficient mid range.
Yep, this is one legit concern. They’re rather similar in playing style and preferred spots. Which can sometimes result in problems with guards getting in each other’s way and messing up spacing.
Watch a lot of Furman and Washington games do you?
