Someone help me. Yes, he has some talent, but does he actually make this team better?
He pretty much lost the game today. I'm sorry he just isn't a winning player. Hope he proves me wrong, but I think he's all Hot Dog, no relish.

He’s won a couple games basically by himself at the end. He’s a backup point guard and has exceeded anyones expectations pre season.

High risk, high reward player. Today was the downside.

Exceeded who's expectations?
I thought he would improve, I don't think he has.
He's still playing exactly like Tac. Extremely talented, but 0 BB IQ.
Maybe I just don't see it. I just see a net negative player.

Good with the bad with him. 2 steps forward and 2 steps back. If he can ever stop turning the ball. He is a defensive assist. But he makes it hard.

This, also he absolutely scores the ball better than Pinson. He was averaging like 15 a night while in the starting role. However I will say it’s unfathomable that a guy like him can’t shoot 3s better. Like bro, you’re athletic as frick and not that tall but yet you can’t shoot for shite.

He is definitely an asset and fun to watch on defense but but he is a loose cannon on offense. He may have occasional flashes of brilliance, and he has been pretty clutch at the free throw line at times but overall he is as much a liabilty as an asset on offense. If he would just quit going out of control and doing dumb things I think this kid could be really good.

Last season- 2.5ppg
This season- 9.7 ppg
Last season- 1.4 rebs
This season- 3.6
Last season- 1.2 assist
This season- 3.3
Last season- 22% FG
This season-38%
Last season- 17% 3s
This season- 25% (32%in SEC play)
Last season- 1.1 steals
This season- 2.2
And on and on

So you might not see it because you don’t want to but he’s made vast improvements at every part of his game. Go back to the pre season threads and you’ll see 99% of fans thought he’d repeat the numbers he put up last year.

He usually brings more good than bad, just not today.

Granted I was distracted with family biz today (horrible timing) but how exactly did Gaines cost us the game?

Close game he got aggressive and got a T and put a 98% FT shooter on the line for 2, few minutes later he get aggressive again and his momentum knocked SC player down and he gets another dead ball foul they get 2 more.

So 4 made Free throws on dead ball Shangans LSU loses by 1. Ya this game is on him.

He has questionable IQ when it comes to in the moment game time decisions. I'm being nice.
