Wendell Moore in the house today
I have never seen him play myself, but I think we have to expect Woods to give Wilbekin a run for the starting position at the 2 if not take it outright. He's now been on a college roster for two full seasons, he's had a year to learn Manning's system and play with his teammates in practice, work in the weight room, and he has already shown some promise against Division 1 competition. We basically got a redshirt year for development out of a player that would never have redshirted if not for the transfer (someone more knowlegable than me once pointed out on this board that redshirts should virtually never occur in top-level college basketball outside of unusual circumstances like transfers or injuries).
Woods won't be our savior, but I don't think that there is any doubt that he will improve us at that position. Furthermore, Wilbekin probably won't make any great strides in his game, but he will be a year older, a year more mature, and hopefully a year smarter. That leaves Childress plenty of time to develop behind two older and more experienced shooting guards -- and, like DCDeac said, gives him a very good shot to start at that position several years down the road.
Why are we talking about children's developing behind older shooting guards? Isn't he a point?

I guess because he has a better chance at getting early-career PT at that position than PG.
Have you seen Chill play in person? Don't try to compare him to MW. He's a point guard who can shoot it from deep. Not sure what MW is.“I’m really pleased with our defense,” said Bengals coach Freddy Johnson. “We held (Wake Forest signee) Brandon Childress without a field goal in the second half. He’s one of the best shooting guards in the state, so I was very happy with that effort.”
I sense Wilbekin 2.0, but I hope I'm wrong. Or I hope that Wilbekin improves significantly and becomes a valuable player on an NCAA tournament team for two years and then Childress takes his place for the next two.
If we're going to not suck next year, someone out of the Wilbekin/Childress/Mitchell/Washington/Watson crowd has to overachieve. Otherwise it's just going to be Crawford/Dinos/Collins combining for 50 points a night while we lose by 10 in every game because we can't put an ACC quality 2 or 3 on the floor.

You were lauding Wilbekin as a great shooter just a year ago. So are you gonna turn on Childress too if he doesn't meet your expectations?What you see is what you get with MW. He won't improve and if we starts the next 2 years we will continue to suck.
So once CMM graduates you're going to post like a shithead about MW then?

Only if his shooting drops to 20% from 3 and 58% from the line and he continues to play over 25 minutes a game.

32% from three and 80% on FTs, but whatever, bash away. It's all fair game in this crappy season.
Cool recruiting news guys... glad I stopped by!
ACC Sports Journal now ranks Chill #44 in class of 2016. At least one publication thinks highly of him.
Overall?
