If you look at Wiggy's high school team/tape, he was much more of a distributor and played second fiddle to multiple guys on that team. While his comments this offseason and mindset of "I'm going to the league no matter what" are somewhat selfish, I don't envy the kid going from distributor on a National Championship high school team to clear cut best player/number one option on a bad team then going to a bench role on that same team and having to navigate a situation you probably haven't been in since early in High School. Not excusing him by any means, but that's quite a roller coaster for a 19-20 year old kid being thrust into the limelight.

Wasn't Wigginton the leading scorer for Oak Hill?

Way up there
My stab at a SL

Wigginton
Halliburton

Jacobson

Agree but at some point tonight, we have to see a lineup with 2 of MJ, Cam and Conditt on the floor at the same time right? I know Prohm loves the 4 guard lineup but does he have the bodies to play it with 2 guards out? IT could be a blessing to at least see how we play with MJ and Lard out there together. Either way, the rotation should be interest to see.

Might depend on how the game is going. Cam and George would absolutely be the first guys off the bench

Well here is Lindell's chance to prove he is starting material. I don't think he has played well enough to warrant it but he has had his moments this year.

If things don't go well maybe in the second half we can just draw down and square off on one another. Not sure it's a foul if you punch your own teammate during a game.

Not sure what Oak Hill tapes you watched but Lindell was the alpha on that team and played SG. LW was the scorer and go to guy end game finisher with Matt Coleman at PG and McD's AA Bill Preston at PF. He wasn't a true PG and a major reason chose Prohm/ISU was to develop those skills.

I was thinking about this and this is about the only thing that can force a shake up for a ride or die coach like Prohm. I think Lard might have to keep his current role though as the 5th in a 4 guard lineup. I’m more interested in conditt/MJ for extended minutes.
