Waters--different team w/ him

Skylar was used more as a 2 under Wade. He played PG his freshman season under Johnny Jones and had the ability to take over the primary ball handling duties when called on under Wade but Javonte was moved to the lead guard spot after his freshman season when Waters left.

Waters without question. He could control the entire game from the PG spot and, tough not a great defender in the sense of keeping guys from scoring, was excellent at stealing the ball. That helped compensate for a lot of otherwise poor defense.
Wade's first team from a personnel standpoint probably had no business even getting to the NIT...let alone beating some solid teams that year. And without Waters they would not have.
Mays was more of a "2" guard with Waters on the team and while Javonte is underappreciated for his play at the PG spot, he wasn't the overall playmaker from a team aspect that Waters was.

Waters was the best point guard LSU has had this century.

He was always entertaining.
Wish we had him longer.

Mays and Smart played the point because they had to
Neither are point guards

Waters and it isn’t close to me. If he was 6’2” he’d be starting in the NBA and doing very well. Guy was so much fun to watch.

If TW was taller he would be a super star in the NBA.

Don't overthink it. Waters by a ton
Posted on 8/17/21 at 5:19 pm to AlecRock23
Waters. I do think If Smart had come back for his Senior year though it could’ve been a special season for him. Watford as well. Just made no sense to me why those guys left just to go undrafted especially with NIL passing. They could’ve had a legitimate National title caliber team with those 2 back, made some money, and raised there draft stock with an SEC Title and deep tournament run.

Mays in his Sr year or Smart this past year
Posted on 8/17/21 at 7:10 pm to AlecRock23
Not even close
Without Waters, that 1st year under Will Wade would have been really tough.

Tremont was a program-changing caliber player. Easily him. Javonte was terribly under appreciated by LSU fans, but he wasn’t as dynamic as Tremont. Skylar wasn’t really a point guard, so to speak.

Thank God Waters fell to us after the Georgetown situation. Waters and it isn't close. Waters has to be mentioned as a top 5 PG all time at LSU. Not only was the guy an absolute beast of a guard, he was as clutch as it gets. A&M, Michigan, Maryland, just to name a few.

And one of these didn’t play point guard while one was responsible for more points and was the Conf defensive player of the year. Like with Cam you were wrong about Waters and you can’t accept it so you continue to dog him. You’re such a pathetic and spiteful creature.
Posted on 8/17/21 at 9:04 pm to Lester Earl
Smart and Mays were really good players. but any answer besides Waters is incorrect. He could break a press by himself. He was always clutch when the team needed a bucket, a steal, assist or just making a play when it mattered most. The Aggie game his freshman year and the drive to the bucket to go to the sweet 16 versus Maryland are just two examples off the top of my head. Not taking anything away from Mays or Smart, loved them both. plus, Waters only played 2 years versus 3 for Smart and 4 for Mays.

You can’t explain this shite to these morons on here. Neither were PGs. When you watch someone like Waters, you can see what a PG skill set looks like. This is not about dribbling the ball down the court. It is about controlling the tempo of the game ans being the single most important player who understands the system on the team. People think they are watching good basketball wirh today’s NBA. It is all garbage.
