1. I don't even pay attention to the lineup w/Sharpe....it's all bullcrap....he's leaving
2. The lineup without Sharpe....
- You just can't have 4 non shooters...you just can't A dude is going to have to grab some bench in place of a shooter. I know Cal is going to do Livingston at the 3....but that will be a bad idea for college. He needs to just stick Livingston at the 4 and be done with it.
- I'd also argue the portal for a shooter at the SG or SF feels very likely with Reaves.
- Can Wallace run PG is the key...as you dang for sure don't need Wheeler grabbing 32+ minutes a game....

Hoping Wallace is our starting PG. Wheeler would be a great backup, but he isn’t a Final Four level PG. Wallace could be.

G Wallace
G Fredrick (if 100% healthy)
G Reeves (if there is truth to the rumors he is coming)
F Livingston
F Tshiebwe

Wheeler, Toppin, and Collins off the bench. That’s the 8 man rotation.

No way in hell is Wallace coming off the bench. Fredrick has about 15 min a game in him. Toppin and wheeler are glass too

No way in Hell you know one damn thing about basketball. You are a troll and an idiot. FACT!!!!
I told you all season what would happen with wheeler. The whole time you called me troll and idiot but you know what? In the end I was right by a mile and you were grossly wrong. So keep calling me whatever you want but the truth is I was right you were an imbecile because you didn’t like it. This isn’t even open for debate.

Grady and Tyty 3 for 19 against a weak team is why we lost. Try Again Idiot Troll.

I get this feeling people are going to be highly disappointed with Frederick. Either injury or simply not being the scorer so many in here seem to think he is. I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see that he’s ever been the guy many on here seem to think he is.

If you're going to call someone an imbecile at least learn how to spell it.

Wallace and Livingston are known for the lock down defense and will only get better and better on the offensive end. Both are very good on the open floor. Biggest thing they will bring to the lineup from last year is tenacious defense and length to clog up passing lanes and quickness to get deflections and get out and run. The less half court offense we run, the better. With that lineup, it reminds me of the early 90s UNLV teams. They where so quick and athletic. They generated offense with defense. I still feel if you are going to recruit and try to play position less ball, you have to trap and press to help generate open floor opportunities to let the athletes do what they do best. It also helps make it easier from distance by hitting the trailing 3 point shooter who gets left ALL alone because teams race back to stop the break.

You must not have watched the game if you think that. Of course no one for 2 weeks made any excuse for wheelers horrific performance in the halfcourt except you slugger

btw wheeler was non existent on defense and Grady/TyTy struggled bc wheeler wasn’t guarded in the half court. It was 4 v 5. You say I no nothing about basketball. Get off wheelers nuts. You’re either a UK fan and want to win a title or you’re a wheeler fan. Choose bc if we go into next season and wheeler is playing big minutes we have no shot. So choose. You a UK fan or a wheeler fan? You tear down 3 guys on the team to take up for wheeler. That’s not honesty

Wheeler isn’t starting over Wallace. The question is Wheeler or CJ. If Sharpe stays by miracle Wheeler will 100 percent be coming off the bench.

I expect the returning starters to get their spots. I think Wallace will fill the role that tyty and maxey have played of top freshman guard playing the combo guard position. The 3 spot i think is Sharpe's if he returns and if not between Livingston or a transfer depending on how well Livingston pans out. The 4 spot i see being likely similar to last year with Toppin and Collins splitting minutes similar to brooks and toppin.

if Livingston is good and Sharpe returns I would hope to see

Anytime we have a great white hope on here people go bananas with expectations. He is no Herro, no Rex, no Shepherd (or his son) and so on. I think he will be a fine bench player and hit some 3s, play some good minutes, and be a great teammate but if he is starting we are in trouble IMO.

You are such an idiot, I state a fact about 1 game. You are Negative Nancy troll. I laugh at you. I am a KY fan period. Who's the third guy? Can you count idiot? I said Grady and Tyty shot 3 for 19. I did not defend anyone. That is my opinion why we lost. UK Fans should be happy, the NPOY is returning and idiots like you are pitiful.

Wheeler and Wallace are both starting. Wallace is the Washington/Maxey/Bledsoe spot.

Wheeler/Wallace/Sharpe looks like a nice backcourt on paper 1-3.

Without Sharpe, Livingston definitely starts at 3/4. With Sharpe he's either starting at the 4 or 6th man.

My only change would be starting Wallace, because Cal is not not starting him. Just my opinion 👊🏻
