Shot 45% from 3 on 108 attempts. Dude is absolutely a shooter.

Out of curiosity, why would you take a 3rd string All SEC over a 1st string ie: Gillespie, Clayton, etc.

I understand “our child” is always the MVP and we’re loyal, but let’s be real we could upgrade our PG position. Move Petti to the 2

We haven’t had a solid PG in all aspects of the game since the Harper years

Then he better become a hell of a lot better passer this off-season or it's going to be another frustrating seaso


He can pass just fine. He does get sloppy at times though and that's what he has to clean up. He does the same thing dribbling but I don't think anyone would say he can't dribble.

It's like people are ignoring the fact that our crappy offense in SEC play was in a large part due to his inability to be a good PG.


Fair. I don't think the offense we ran helped him too much and as a team we didn't share the ball enough but to improve as a pg he needs to be a more willing creator next season.

PG play kept us from winning a title a few years back.


We either need him to take a severe leap forward, or move to 2 and get an Elite PG

As much as Pettiford's passes got under my skin I do believe he can play better.

Also he isnt the number one reason our offense failed.

There was mediocrity at 2-5 in long stretches throughout the season.

Also, Sophomore Jared mother fricking Harper would not be able to take the elite 8 ball game over by doing layups against trees.

He wouldn't. He got better and more savvy.

We need Petty to keep getting better and more savvy.

Can he finally have consistency throughout the entire season? Being the “QB of the offense” and going 1/6 and 0/4 isn’t going to cut it if we want to cut down the nets.

That’s why I want an Elite PG to be our consistent when we get bad Tahaad night (3/9 and 0/6 vs Mizzou)
