The kid made 47% of his 2 point shots with everybody sagging off of him and he still averaged over 7 assists and in double figures. He also averaged 4 rebounds along with 2 steals. And on top of that, he is built like a smaller Briscoe where he is not going to be pushed around. The kid is a stat stuffer who does not need to hit any 3 pointers to make an impact on the game.

People here hated Briscoe. Players who bring their lunch pail every game need not apply. Gotta be able to stand around the perimeter and hit a three. Those are worth one more point than twos and that is all that matters.
To me the turnovers are more a problem than the shooting.He's also known as a poor defender.
Good god then what was he good at? He wasn’t second team all SEC for no reason.
Please tell me you are kidding about defense. He averaged 2 steals a game. Actually more than Hagans did when he won Defensive player of the year...lol
He's 5'8.You really think he's a great defender?You get mad when told his actual stats
So Tyler Ulis was a **** defender as well because he was short too, right?
Some want to just hear he is a cross between John Wall and Tyler Ulis.It's actually funny.
He is nowhere near Tyler Ulis.My God that kid was special.He could shoot,defend and not turn it over.What a stupid comparison.So Tyler Ulis was a **** defender as well because he was short too, right?
And yet he averaged the same amount of steals as Ulis but Ulis was a better defender...nice logic...
And he shoots it at higher percentage of his 2 point shots than Ulis which means he can make his shots while defended...

You are really stupid if you think he is as good as Ulis.
He said he couldnt defend bc he was 5’8... Ulis was same height. His point had nothing to do w TO or shooting
Good list. Add Walter Daniels to that list. Was Georgia’s leading scorer as a point guard prior to Dominique. Drafted by the Lakers same year as Magic. Hard to compete with Magic but Walt could play. Played at Southwest in Macon.
But he's not good on D.My husband went to Georgia so I was stuck watching all their games with him.He got beat constantly on D,was very lazy getting back,took terrible and selfish shots.
Ulis use to give em hellSo Tyler Ulis was a **** defender as well because he was short too, right?
Wheeler still doesn't belong in the same sentence with Ulis.They are nothing alike.
Jesus, how much is Wheeler paying you?
Never said he was. Just that Tyler gave people hell when he was guarding them. Don’t know much about Wheeler
I didn't compare them. I was responding to him saying Wall and Fox couldn't make things happen on the court.
What constitutes elite?
2nd Team All-SEC. #1 in assists in the Power 5 conferences. He shot 32% from 3 as a freshman. One would surely think he'll improve from his sophomore season to his Junior season.
Hagans shot 26% and 28%. Those teams were both good enough to make it to the Final 4.
I don't think he's the best PG in the country. But it's entirely possible TyTy is the only person besides Wheeler we get at PG. Are we better off not taking Wheeler?
He got worse instead of better shooting as a sophomore so I don't think UK will all of a sudden make him a better shooter.Hagans play actually kept us from final fours so that doesn't cheer me up.Yes if he is all you can get you take him.
Yea, those guys you listed were all freaks at driving to the rim. You can't have both. That is when they go get paid.
I would 10/1 rather have a guy that can break down a defense instead of a shooter

Who talked about John Wall's to for the last 10 seasons? He didn't avg 8 assists either With actual players to get the ball to
Yes , if you ignore every other fault of those games and point him out as the only mistakes... Sure it was on him
You really are building Wheeler up to being something he's not but you will learn the hard way.
People have learned nothing from last season.Still building up guys as being better than they really are.I guess part of being a fan is seeing what you want to see.
Building up? Lol because I am not pounding on the kid like you other basement goons , I'm building him up...
If we are gonna point out stats let's point out stats.
When you see a response like this it lets you know you're talking to a dude that's defeated and has nothing else to say.
I just point you out. You're one of the fans that want an nba lottery pick to stay 4 years. Every kid in college has some kind of fault to his game. It's that simple
If your bringing in two pg's and TyTy is priority one, who is your better option to join him?
I don't think Cal will turn down a Wheeler commitment.
Baylor PG Davion Mitchell shot 29 percent from 3 as a freshman and 32 percent as a sophomore.
Surprised he didn't get cut and have to go the NAIA route.

Mitchell was an outlier.
3.5ppg as an Auburn frosh
Rarely does a player improve that much.
I’ll just leave this here. Not sure if these highlights have been posted or not. The kid has really good court vision.
There's no doubt he is a talent. He is extremely quick and I think he plays with an all-or-nothing mindset at times. Forces plays that aren't there, which is probably why he had such a high turnover average.
It can certainly be fixed and he can develop an outside shooting game.
I like the fact that he gets into the lane and finishes well, even at 5'10".
I just think Cal could do better. Maybe he sees something in Wheeler he likes, but at 5'10", he’s not someone Cal typically goes after. He brought Ulis in, but that kid was on a different level.
Exactly right, Cal doesn’t necessarily like small PGs, meaning he definitely sees something he likes. The staff is saying that if he can average nearly 8 assists at UGA, he should be even better here, with more talent around him. I can’t really disagree with that sentiment at this juncture.
Here’s the thing. We needed a backup PG, regardless. Not many guys are gonna want to come and play behind a freshman, which Wheeler most likely will be doing. I would much rather Cal grab this kid now, just in case we aren’t able to get a better option. I definitely don’t want to go into the season with one PG.
EDIT: We’ve been beat so many times by small, quick guards just like Wheeler. We always say, “man, I wish we had a small, quick guard to fix that issue.” I’m paraphrasing of course. Anyway, Wheeler may be that guy.
He will beat anyone who guards him off the dribble. If he gets to the rim, he will score. If they stop his penetration with inside help, he will dish. If they sag on him, he will get screens. He will protect the ball better, no doubt. I also think he will make our inside players better, especially Oscar. I hope we get Wheeler.
