Case in point on why Wallace should continue starting over Wheeler. 9 to 2 assists-to-turnover ratio.
Let Wheeler come off the bench and be a sparkplug. He can accelerate the tempo when the opponent's rotation is getting tired. I like Wallace starting because opponents can't rely on a "sag on Wheeler" scheme from the tip. Plus, Wallace is better defensively.
At the end of the day, this is a great problem to have: either an all-SEC level point guard in Wheeler or a future lottery pick point guard in Wallace, both serving up the national player of the year downlow while surrounded by two of the top 10 shooters in college basketball and three of the most athletic forwards in the nation.
