I don't care if he breaks a guy's fingers or arm, hammer the ball through the rim. He has the strength to do it, he just needs to composure and ferocity.


That's where I disagree.

Wiley does not have soft hands, and he has strong arms but they are long, but not super strong in the upper body.

How many times have we seen now for 4 years, him get the ball knocked away from his hands or any contact underneath and he loses control of the ball

What he does well, is when he goes up and just at his peak stretch and grab a rebound. He is good at that....

...But if he brings the ball back down to take a dribble before he goes back up..that is where he is the weakest.

I know I would trade every PG on our team for Kira Lewis.

Sooooo J’Von? I think it’s safe to say Sharife can’t get here soon enough.

Turbo too

I have a hard time labeling him as a 1. I feel like they want him to be a 2 if possible.

Can't have misses on guys like Purifoy and Turbo. We got our arse beat last night because Kira Lewis, Shakelford, Petty, and Reese, were better than any 3 players we had last night.

Bamas been on freaking streak with Kira Lewis, Shakelford, Petty, Sexton, Reese it's like they can't miss.

We hit on Chuma, Mustafa, and Isaac.

Bama has had wayyyyy more misses than we have had over Bruce's tenure. You're reading a lot into one game.

Also, Purifoy is definitely not a miss and Turbo might not be.

We are halfway through his freshman season and you are already writing off Turbo? Reese and Petty are juniors who were not very good until this year, escpecially Reese. Turbo is a four year guy having to play out of position this year.

Any big man struggles when you bring the ball back down for a dribble after a rebound in traffic. You got to go straight back up.

Purifoy is a hit if Reese is a hit. One game doesn’t make him a hit and DP a miss.

Without Purifoy and McCormack we don't make it to the final four last year.

Purifoy had a very good first year...got in trouble and injuries over the last 2 years, but had a very good end of last year, and has his moments this year.

Turbo is just not a very good PG, but he wasn't recruited as one. Let's see if he makes it as the #2 G next year and does better. He's just raw...and young.

Hold on, you’re calling Reese a hit and Purifoy a miss?

You’d think Alabama won an SEC Title in each of the last two years and made a Final Four after that post.

Is it bad that I liked basketball threads on this board better before we were good and there was only a handful of regulars posting in them?

Folks melting and not realizing that we get another shot (and possibly 3 total) against them.
