If you could only pick one of Williams, Smart, or Watford

Emmitt but of those 3 Smart should absolutely return.

How does this stuff effect Wade and recruiting? If it doesn't drag out and he is retained then we probably land Cisse and/or Anselem. One of those would likely be your 5. If you get both then your 5 is definitely taken care of. I'd say Watford. Year 2 should be a big jump. Cam Thomas will be a much better scorer than Smart and we should have a true point. Next year could be really good if this stuff from the documentary blows over quickly.

I think it’s a toss up between Emmitt and Watford. I’d take Watford because he has a chance to be really awesome next year. However Emmitt gives you a junkyard mentality that is hard to replicate.

Could care less about Smart. Very disappointing year, imo.

I know you know hoops, but I'd be hard pressed to call his season a disappointment. Waters spoiled us bc we havent had a true pg like him in 20+ years.

Smart progressed very nicely as the season went on.

Watford

0% chance he isnt retained unless something new and very damning comes to light

Wow, I actually gave an upvote to the guy that landed LSU on that devastating probation in the late 90's. It's Watford, and it really isn't that tough a decision.

you can keep saying Smart was disappointing but he had the second best Assist/TO ratio among starting PGs in the SEC (according to one of the ESPN commentators on one of the last games of the year) and I fact checked myself and he had 70 TOs while most had almost 100. He also shot 43% from 3 since Vandy. But okay.

Smart-Because EVERYTHING starts at the top. Offense/Defense. As the guards go, so goes your team. I can't recall a single championship team without a competent guard. Smart showed what he is capable of against Tenn. Give me that player, and I'll take my chances.
