I do wish TBB the best. He seemed like a good kid who couldnt stay healthy. He needs all the reps he can get to learn how to play too.

Looks like Bucky McMillan stopped bitching about Charles Bediako long enough to sign one of the G League's better scorers today.

Man I am impatient as hell, waiting for more basketball news. Just want to know if we're getting a guard or not.

I’d love for him to be back but I really hope that’s not the case. I don’t see how an Oats system works with just one guard, who’s not naturally a PG, bringing the ball up for us all year. Think about all our prior teams. Every team had multiple veteran guards we could plug and play.

Deleted a tweet saying he's never stepping foot in Alabama after finals, and also is responding to Bama fans on IG with cousin jokes.

Good riddance!

Barring another PG transfer, the roster construction seems more similar to the 20-21 team.

The PGs were basically Herb and JQ with the team having a 30 ORTG, but 3 DRTG that season. I think they can surpass that duo offensively, but you're still banking on production from Samuels and Bouie.

Samuels profile is he’s a bit of a black hole on offense sometimes too.
