Wilikinson is good and will get better. That lineup I was asking for earlier itt is what wade ended up going with in the second half. He went big and athletic but without the big freshman.
I think that lineup is gonna destroy small teams.

After last night, I wouldn’t be suprised if wade tried to have a lineup occasionally with fudge at the point. Dude plays good d and is athletic and smart.

Regarding Gaines, I used to hate his game .now I believe he has some play making ability and is capable of shooting the 3 a little. I just wish he would stop with the long 3 early in the shot clock.
If he’s got his feet set and room to shoot , then he can hit the 3.

Murray is the X factor, if he can shoot it well, then it’s possible to have him at the two and Gaines at the 1 , that would be a smaller lineup if you add fudge , days, Eason/Reid
Or add Wilkinson to go even smaller

Definitely hot and cold. Turns the ball over way too much! Plays out of control at times. Needs to hone in on his skills and "slow down" mentally. Once he does that, he will be fine. He has a ton of tools and looks like there is a ton on of potential there.

I liked some passes he made. That bullet pass he threw was awesome. I’m telling everybody now, mark my words, Alex fudge is capable of running the point in a huge lineup. We could run a lineup of
Fudge
Wilkinson
Eason
Days
The big freshman I always forget his name

If we don’t trust fudge or Wilkinson to run point then you can put in Murray. That may help spread the floor out anyway.

The above lineup would be a nightmare to score on. Hell, we’ve already ran that lineup besides one less big and add Murray or Gaines off the bench and they couldn’t score on it.

Fudge is gonna be awesome and if he really could be a 2 in exchange for Murray gains or pinson , then we would have the best d in the sec and we may actually already have that.

This is the best wade era defense for sure .

Does anyone else think we could go super big with fudge at the 2 and just be a monster on d? I’m reaching retard level on this question, I think ,but lI’d
love to see it .

It’s basically playing with no guards unless you count Wilkinson as one

strides on the offensive end too.


Needs to realize he isn't a 3 pt shooter. Slash and finish and slash and dish.

Could be ALL SEC defense for sure.

Gaines has a lot of tools, just very raw. He should never be asked to be a shooter for sure.



Kind of reminds me Garrett Temple as far as his skill set. He needs to model his game after GT.

Another fan who proudly shows his lack of knowledge of basketball.

Wilkinson hustles and is the consummate team player.
He plays his role almost perfectly.
