Wilkins’ Potential

[Beatle Bum]

I don’t know this YouTuber, but the clips here are fun. Wilkins does have an SGA look on offense.

Not sure if this has been posted yet either, but this guy follows and breaks down SoCon players/teams. Good little clip about Zoom and Wilkins

37% on catch and shoot 3’s
45% on open 3’s
Shot 33% on 3’s for the year, must have shot several forced 3’s. He should improve his sophomore year.

I’m excited to see Zoom and Wilkins together. Their passing ability together could be treacherous for opposing defenses. Wilkins looks to have a smooth game. And Zoom seems to have a gritty (kind of like Oweh), game - he just finds ways to put the ball in the hoop. If the the rest of the squad can be shot makers at the 3 and 4 (and maybe 5). Zoom will have a field day getting to the rim and finding open shooters and cutters. We shall see how it all shakes out.


PS: How dare you not bash Pope in this thread .

If he had any help I'd have a lot of hope for him and the team.

I know it's all about doom and gloom around here but this guy has star written all over him. We need to get at least 1 more piece, preferably Mom, and we'll have potential to be pretty good if not really good.

We are a good team now & definitely an upgrade from last year.

Good guards, no doubt. Mo's son will be steady; Epps like. They need help. 2 more bigs

We need more shooting, an elite scorer at the wing, and a big at the very least.

Will be fun having electric guards at the very least.

Whose mom?

Can’t tell much from highlights but at least he can go right or left

I think he leads us in scoring around 16ish but the big question is who is going to help the reliable 2nd option?? Could be different guys each night but collectively having a 1-2 punch then the other guys chipping in is probably where we are currently. Is Hawthorne that good? Will it be Zoom? Or maybe the Iowa st guy?? Moreno?? A lot of questions going forward and not alot of answers at this point unfortunately.

I think he has the potential to be really good! We desperately need 3 more impact players to finish out the roster.

How dare you rain on this boards parade!

Wilkins is the highest upside guy on offense on the team. He can get his shot against anyone at the college level. I think his game will translate pretty well. Probably a 20 PPG guy in the SEC.

 

[Beatle Bum]

I did not want to see Chandler leave but Zoom and Wilkins give us two starters who can both get into the paint and get their points or create for others. If Hawthorne can play real minutes, I look forward to see what kind of passer he is. He averaged 4 assists, I think, as a high schooler. Pretty good for the best player in WV. We need guys who have floor vision and can get others shots.

One thing I like about Wilkins game which you can’t teach is that he looks SUPER confident, doesn’t dwell on negatives, just a next play mentality

Easily the best get on this team - will be the most talented player.

I bet he takes off for UConn after this year unless the 5th year rule is passed. Mass kid, UConn played/looked at him, but could not get him time. Looks exactly like Tristan Newton.

 

[bleedsblue5]

Well that seemed to be pretty positive, give me some hope at least. I still think 1 more guy that is a stud and we are fine.

 

[philstat]

I believe he will average 14Ppg.

Would feel better about Milan starting at the S4 than currently what we have other pieces starting are ok but still worried about the unknown players and depth on bench.

We need prime Dominique Wilkins to win
