So, first off, I hope Lindell recovers quickly and has an amazing season along with the team as a whole. But if he doesnt get back for awhile, do you think it would make him more likely to want/need to return for his junior year?
Depends on how he comes back from the injury.
Not sure what he’s going to play in the NBA because he’s not a point guard.
So far, I agree. This year was/is big for him, in that regard. He will get drafted but this could affect how early.Not sure what he’s going to play in the NBA because he’s not a point guard.
I was just thinking last night that the way Shayok plays plus having multiple options on offense now in Jacobson, Lard, and THT to compete with Wigginton's stats at least from a scoring standpoint could suffer a bit since by the time he gets back and up to 100% Shayok will have become our primary scorer and there may just not be as many shots available for Wigginton as there was last year when he had to carry the bulk of the scoring responsibilities. That's not a bad thing from a team standpoint but Wigginton's future in the NBA is likely at PG with him being 6-2 188 he's a bit undersized for a SG or wing player at the next level. The injury probably is a setback for his NBA hopes because he will need to be 100% healthy plus have to find his role on this team that will have played at least a handful of games or more by the time he returns.
Right now most places have him at a 2nd round pick before the injury. He could improve on that with a good season obviously but looking at how this team is built he's going to have to be a more efficient player than he was last season with his shooting % and turnovers to take that next step forward and be in the conversation of a 1st round lock. If he goes cold shooting or is careless with the ball in a game this year there is a lot more depth on this team that could potentially take away touches and minutes.
