Would love him too but how Gaines is playing there is no need to rush him
Gaines had some big plays late to seal the victory vs. Florida, but he still had 4 turnovers (and was close to a few more). LSU's biggest weakness right now is turnovers. It's killing them offensively. With the way they are defending, just cutting down on the turnovers by 30%-40% could turn these 5-6 point wins over good teams to 10-12 point wins. Wins where LSU isn't sweating out the last 2:00 of the game. That is how good the defense has been. Pinson hasn't been that much better on the turnover front, but you trust his experience more and he is a much better offensive threat if/when the half-court offense gets stagnant.
If Pinson feels good, then you play him. Arkansas is a bit more guard oriented team. So having your most experienced guard in the line up helps. Even though they are struggling relative to preseason expectations, Arkansas is still a solid team very capable of beating LSU. In the SEC this year there are very few games even the good teams can "take for granted"

Oh no, he was close to turnovers. Outside of one few minutes stretch, where Gaines lost his mind for a bit, he played excellent. He was a huge reason we won. 4 turnovers isn't the end of the world, especially for as much as he was forced to play.
The hate Gaines gets on here is ridiculous. He brings A LOT to this team. You can bet your arse off though that whenever he has a turnover that there will be 10 threads about it. He's the player the idiots on here have all jumped in to hate on.
Edit: just noticed who I was replying too. Certainly one of the idiots.

I agree here, for a veteran of the SEC with as much experience as he has - he has some turnover issues himself. There was stretch against Kentucky I think where he turned the ball over 3 straight possessions and they were all 3 careless - in other words they weren't forced by tremendous defense.
We need both to get better there. We had turnover issues with our guards last year around this time and it got better at the end of the season. I expect the same here.
