His offensive ineptitude hurts us. Just like Wheeler. He plays far too many minutes.You show a limited understanding of the game when you base on if a guy is playing well or not on whether to not he is putting up big numbers on offense. Toppin is never gonna be big scorer. The LSU game was an aberration. But he’s playing a solid floor game with 11 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and 2 blocks with 4 minutes left.
Like Wheeler, he needs to have his minutes limited and focus on doing the things that help this team win (for him it’s rebounds, tip-ins, blocking shot). If Toppin takes more than 5 shots, he is costing us possessions.
