Wagner Edwards
- Thread starter zannmann
- Start date
Why? As long g as Reed & Dilly are happy it dosen't matter. Now, I think if Wagner & Edwards were in that situation i think it'd be a different story.
Adou was having back problems in the 2nd half, from what I heard on the TV.
The first 5 minutes of both halves tonight were atrocious. ........and that's not the first time that has happened.
So, there's THAT.
And THAT could be enough to get you beat against a lot of teams. Especially come tournament time.
Cal has got to fix THAT.....
I thought I heard the same thing during the UNC game. He was wearing the same back support on the bench in both games.
I definitely think he does. I’d bet the staff and team believes that too.
lol what? He’s right, it doesn’t matter who starts. You don’t lose in the first four minutes . We get that energy off the bench and it’s working great
I truly wish there was a message board where people who post stupid things got banned........ but I dream .
Plus Wagner has been playing well...Wagner is doing ok, but just not what he was advertised.
how about a message board where stupid people ban people? We call that the Louisville board
Its an echo chamber of 14 people who don't want to hear anything but the mod approved messaging and zippy
You're right....censorship is never the answer...... but damn......this whole "start Reed and Dilly " bs is the new "Is Richie gonna play tonight".
It's like nails on a chalk board
Wagner has the worst offensive rating on the team - except Ugonna. He also takes the second most shots (behind Dilly).
Tonight Reed played 27 minutes and had a +/- of +27 . All while taking 6 shots . Wow
But Reed and Dilly are outplaying Wagner and Edwards and it’s not close. Reed and Dilly have moved ahead of Wagner and Edwards on draft boards.
There’s really no argument to be made in favor of starting and giving big minutes to Wagner and Edwards.
Only those who wish to defend Cal and whatever decisions he makes would argue for starting Wagner and Edwards. You know who does love to see those guys starting and playing tons of minutes? The opposing coaches.
Or we could go up 16-2. Or or we could be down 2. Or we could go on a 12-2 run while brashaw is in foul trouble. Or we could never play Purdue ever.
If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. Hypotheticals are useless
Wagner should not be starting. I think he is incredibly overrated here.
I just want the best decision makers getting the lion share of the minutes. I don't care who starts.
Sheppard has the most assists of a UK player against Louisville. He seldom forces anything, and he doesn't have to score in order to earn his time on the floor.

I’m not sure your opinion can even be taken seriously. Aren’t you the one who thinks we don’t even need DJ on the team period?
I don’t think the commentators know what to make of it.
Has anyone in the media asked Cal directly why Wagner, and Edwards, continue to start?
You forgetting that Reed and Rob come in with fresh legs after DJ and Justin take the air out of the opponents starters......when Reed did start he played some of his worst minutes as a Cat........don't fix what isn't broken
How pivotal to the team’s success was he tonight? I do believe if the dude blew out his knee and we were forced to play Reed and Dilly more, and give Thiero more time at the 3 - we’d be FINE - if not better.
wasn't last week Cal talking about Edwards saying he can't play but he'll invite him over to the house and make him a pizza?
Cal knows, Cal is just going to do what Cal always does. Maybe this year it pays off instead of losing to a Kansas St
Both projected Lottery picks. They get longest ropes.
Give me a break. Wagner and Edwards played a whopping 2-3 minutes before coming out down 5-0. They don’t take the air of anyone
We probably beat Kansas if we don’t spot them a 9-0 lead.
But that’s factually not true now. Many mocks don’t have DJ in the first round now! And Edwards stock is plummeting too.
Those were not garbage time points, good grief. We may have had a nice lead but for a while there he was the only one scoring for us. We absolutely needed someone to make plays at that time, and by god he did.
2-3 minutes. So you agree it doesn't matter who starts then....because it only for 2-3 minutes. You Still avoid the FACT that's Reeds worst game as a cat was as a starterGive me a break. Wagner and Edwards played a whopping 2-3 minutes before coming out down 5-0. They don’t take the air of anyone
Thiero was having back issues which is what sidelined him....but yeah..."sabotage". Goodness.
Who TF cares who starts? I care who PLAYS.
Wagner literally just won SEC Freshman of the week and hit two HUGE shots down the stretch to help us win vs. UNC, and we also got out to a hot start and took the early lead against UNC.
But yeah, the "experiment" should end.
There's about 20% of this board that are complete and total shitshow on a daily basis and it's wild to me.
We might be ranked in the Top 5 come Monday and people act like the sky is falling. Crying and sobbing in every thread "Wahhhhh my favorite player doesn't get to play for the jump ball wahhhh".
Who. TF. CARES. They ALL play. They are ALL happy. We are WINNING. The guys LOVE each other and cheer for each other's success.
The only "fans" who care about this stuff are on this board.
And I didn't hear them say **** after Wagner helped us take down UNC or Wagner won us the St. Joe's game.
You'd love this place in europe in 1933. Let me tell ya...
