Toppins comments on Wheeler
- Thread starter Ltbarnett25

I’d say Brooks was a more consistent offensive threat even taking 10 20 foot jumpers a game but Toppin did do what he should the second half the other night. He’s best at the SEC logo passing, getting inside for some buckets, and rebounding. That’s his game.
Maybe the bench is a good place for you. Other than not playing the point guard position to your liking, this young man hasn't done anything deserving of the daily criticism that he receives. He doesn't belittle fans. You don't hear that he is being disruptive and causing a division within the team or anything like that. If you don't like him, focus your anger at the person who brought him to the team and puts him on the court. He didn't play at all 2 games ago. He didn't start in the last game and received very little playing time when he did go in. Is that enough for you or have you made a sport out criticizing him? How about saving further criticism for him when or if he gets back into the game and screws up? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

If he was one of your parents, he would tell you to stop embarrassing the family.
I'm glad Cal won all our championships. Oh, wait.
You're the chicken shit. Afraid to criticize poor play. Now get the hell out of here with your bluster. You got no nads.
Wouldn’t expect anything less from a teammate having Wheeler’s back. But Wheeler should be a backup in case of foul trouble or injuries. Reminds me of Cliff Hawkins. For every good play he makes he has an equally bad play.
I don’t think other programs have players drug through the mud like at Kentucky
I hope our team understands that the haters on social media are just a small portion of this proud fanbase.

Isnt policing these “hateful comments” “incessant attacks” the role of a moderator?
How is it embarrassing to tell these kids to not read the internet about themselves? Tell me.
If it was you, it would be worth determining if a post-birth abortion is possible. Lol
He's actually shooting the ball good from distance this season. Same percentage as Wallace. 38% 2.5 attempts per game
Maybe people like you shouldn't produce content that they shouldn't read. How about that? I am sure you are better at giving advise than taking it.
The incessant threads about Wheeler are because we have a coach that fails to see what all the Bennies do. Cal forcing him into what he’s not is what is responsible for the incessant threads.
Basically Wheeler is caught in the blast radius of his bull headed coach.
He is who he is. I don't know why we need this incessant debate. Coming off the bench to spell someone is what his role should be
People like me? Content he shouldn't read? Look you fool, show me where I've ever said anything bad about Wheeler? My advice about players not reading social media and message boards isn't embarrassing. It's sound and reasonable. No public figure should indulge in it. I have no idea why you went in on me, but let's go.
Do you think there are any posters here who don’t want to him to do well?
These guys gave up immunity to criticism the instant NIL came into play. Wheeler isn’t out there playing subpar for free. And it has been proven, not only by posters on this board but professional basketball analysts. that Wallace over Wheeler is a key ingredient to the best line up in all of college basketball.
I do agree that saying things like “Wheeler is trash” is needless and unproductive. And while I don’t agree with it I don’t think the proper response to said criticism is to whine about it when you’re making 6-7 figures playing a game. You either work hard to change perception and the cold hard numbers or you keep quiet, collect your check, and either suffer through like the rest of us do or move to a school where you feel you’ll be happier.
Wheeler’s destiny and perception are almost entirely in his control. Albeit, there will always be folks who don’t like him. That’s life. There are people who don’t like Jesus so I’m not sure how you expect Wheeler to go through life with not afforded to the only perfect being to grace this planet.
Not just that but wheeler makes toppin look much better. Toppin wants to flash and flare too. When he was forced into a role against UGA he was pretty good but not flashy. I don’t think toppin likes the role though tbh. He wants to be runnin and gunnin.
Name calling is representative of a low IQ. Void of anything else, name calling is all you got.
As I said, show me where I've said anything bad about Wheeler? What? You can't? No. You confused me with someone else. Put up or shut up. Show me the posts. Go ahead.
If that doesn't make sense to you, your problem is clearly understood. I assumed you have a brain.

It is worse than I thought. You are now responding to your own questions. Wow! Maybe you should take the advice you want Wheeler to take and stop reading social media.
College bb unfortunately and especially Cals style is all half court so where does wheeler fit. He can break a press but if he can’t hit fts you can’t play him. He can pass but if he one Good play then one bad play he’s unplayable. Like I said from the get go. Wheeler developed habits under crean and he is unable to break them. Sure he has some tools to contribute but he doesn’t have it between the ears. His mistakes are mental and when he goes wild the game can flip 6 -8 points before you blink. Then our team has to work even harder. Wheeler won’t be hated if he accepts what his game does to the team and fix it pronto. If he can’t fix it he has to accept that role. Any discord from wheeler to mess with chemistry will mark him as the most maligned player in uk basketball history. It’s all in wheelers court as to how fans view him. Guys who mope after a declining role become toxic to the team. We’ve seen it with alot of guys under cal. Guys who support their teammates no matter what their roles are embraced. It’s wheeler call not the fans.
Look, take some time and come up with some better stuff. That makes absolutely no sense. Like a toddler jabbering.
Are you drunk, seriously? I quoted you. ??? What is going on with you?
Wouldn’t expect a teammate to be like “yeah you see how we’re winning without him”. I think it’s become clear to everyone that Wheeler has to play a diminished role. Jacob handled it diplomatically by somewhat subliminally acknowledging that Wheeler would come off the bench moving forward. There’s also those like me who have advocated not playing him whatsoever and facilitating his transfer to a better fit. We also have to accept that Wheeler will be playing a role on this team. I’ll stand by my opinion that it will hurt the team and severely limit our chances at making the tournament, much less tournament success. But he’s part of whatever it is that has been built, so I’ll have to deal with the frustration.
