Cats are better with him on the bench.

This thread will bring out the worst of the worst.
Not bashing anyone, just stating the truth. I take it you disagree?
Not sure why our fanbase feels the need to post negative stuff about it's players. You may be right, but not sure it needs to be said.
I take it we’re up 30 and there is no need to bash any player.
Same losers hate Wheeler, Cal and last year Allen. They have to have their whipping boy.
No attacks on players or coaches.
Criticism is allowed, and encouraged if the shoe fits. But that does
NOT mean you have free range to bash or alienate a player or coach with
your comments. If you disagree with how they played or the effort they
put forward, please voice your opinion and state why you hold that
opinion. If it's something you would not say to their faces, then don't
post it.
He’s the weakest link unfortunately
I never said I hate Wheeler, Goober. Just think Wallace is better.
He's a double edge sword for sure..
He can push this offense like no one else
But
Gotta take care of the d@mn ball

Wallace is too good to keep off the floor. Wheeler is just too limited. It was evident last week in the scrimmage as it was last season. Pg is too important a spot to try and hide a guy
He just gets ahead of himself and makes mistakes. Drives me crazy.
Yep. Nothing wrong with realizing it, either. Wallace is better on both ends & you’d have to sit him or Reeves to make room for Wheeler. I’ve said it all summer, but, we’d be best served with Wheeler coming off the bench as an energy guy. He does some good things & he’s not a BAD player. But, Wallace & our wings are just better players, with fewer limitations & offer much more on both ends. Some fans would sacrifice having the best team possible on the floor in order to spare certain players’ feelings, though.
Thank you one half wonder. Second half may be worse. Why don't you do something constructive and take a walk. You can post your negatives again in 24 hours , we're all waiting.
It might take a minute for Wheeler to figure out his role on a team surrounded by this much talent, but having more weapons creates more opportunities to distribute, and when Wheeler figures out all the possibilities, he’s gonna be fine.
Wheeler definitely ain’t it. Somebody said it before last season, we can’t win a title with him as the starting point guard. And they were right. He’s just too small and can’t shoot, 100% a liability.
Or you can skip on by. I'll post what I feel. You start your own thread and post what you feel.
i like wheeler. i think he is a great player on a mid-tier team.
and a good sub on a contender
thats not bashing just observing

He just needs to learn to play within himself. Every second he has the ball he has too big of a chip on his shoulder and tries to push and be a player that he's not currently capable of being. He tries to play with Ulis's speed and grit while having a bulkier body type and without having Ulis's speed and grit. Slow it down literally just 10%, play with more bully ball, and embrace contact instead of letting contact control you.
this is just dumb as hell to start something like this I mean really dude !!
More Wallace and Thiero less Wheeler
Not to mention what is best to surround the returning NPOY.
Wheeler was fine, the team did exactly what it did and Wallace got plenty of run. I agree we looked great sometimes when he wasn’t in but he’s a key player still. At least we know exactly what he will give us and that’s nice to have.
It's not Wallace Vs Wheeler. It's Wallace and Wheeler. Both will start and play a lot. We are blessed with many great options this year and the whoever is rolling will play. Cant wait!
That's what the boards for? I have no problem with it at all.
Good Grief, Wheeler could go 20pt 16 asst. and 1 turnover and they'd be 3 threads about that one stinking turnover.
Wallace will play a ton and Wheeler will play a ton. The key is having the best 5 in at the end of a close game. Wallace isn't a wimp and will demand the ball from Wheeler though. He isnt like some from last years team.
It's the same ones. Last year Allen, this year Wheeler
Wheeler definitely has to relax on the care less play.
But at this point he is what he is . It’s probably not changing .

Really? First meaningless preseason game which is nothing but an individual show case and we have someone taking a dump on Wheeler? Against a team that actually plays defense and we have to execute offensively as a team, this will be far different in terms of Wheelers value.
Agree. Hde can't shoot and screws up the spacing as a result. The only time we might need him is to give Wallace a rest and against the press if it's giving us trouble as it did at times tonight. I was really impressed with Wallace, Collins, Thiero and Livingston. UK allowed way too many easy put backs by not getting to loose balls, but that is easily corrected and I think it will be. I think we are a much better team with SW off the court - period.

If we had Wallace last year, do you think we still lose to St. Peters?
If they are to win #9, Wallace will be the point.
After one exhibition game?
Wheeler has got to just play his game and stop trying to force it.
Not once did we look at Cason tonight and go, “That looked really forced.”
Wheeler needs to go with the flow and play smart. Hit a few open shots. Will be a huge asset if he does.
