But he is a nightmare with the ball in his hands.

He just plays really damn lazy and needs to get his energy up all the time. Can’t see him being successful continuing with that demeanor

Sometimes I think he believes he’s playing 1 on 5

Good kid. But he is a garbage player when he drives into the lane. Horrible.

Popular? He is one of the biggest liabilities. Yes he try’s hard but decision making is putrid.

He was the main reason we beat Kentucky.

What? He makes dumb mistakes on offense, but is not lazy at all. And he is great on D.

I don’t think he plays lazy…I think he tries to do too much with the ball handling.

All these chops either didn't watch that game, or can't remember 2's defensive contributions and timely baskets

I know this will be unpopular but this team is very undisciplined and doesn't display a high basketball IQ...not very cerebral.

Have to go back a few seasons but he reminds me of Josh Gray.

Good defender, but makes either "Wow!" or "WTF!?" plays on offense.

I’ve always thought the same thing. He can play 2 but should never be the 1

They have point guards who go too fast and play stupid at times for sure which causes too many turnovers. Days at times takes dumb shots and Reid gets dumb fouls. But defensively, I'd say they are very high IQ in what they do with all the constant switching and making sure guys are accounted for.

Gaines gets a little out of control sometimes. I think Wade did a good job sitting him in the first half when he tried to do too much and had a 3 possession stretch was ugly

But make no mistake, he adds way more to the team than he takes away. And tonight he was nails down the stretch. Played great D, nailed his free throws, and took care of the basketball against a press with our other ball handler out of the game.
