Assuming he chose to transfer here for more playing time than he had at Oregon. Is that going to happen?

- Josiah Jordan James (assuming he doesn't go pro)
- Jaden Springer
- Keon Johnson
- Jalen Johnson
- Victor Bailey
- (potentially) Davonte Gaines

If Jalen Johnson steps up this year and Josiah is as good as anticipated, but not NBA-ready, it will be really tight for minutes at the guard spots imo

Two forwards and a guard. Keon translates to third guard which is a forward in our 3 guard set. How much time did Jordan log last season? Plenty of minutes.

IF. What if Jalen Johnson steps up but Bailey is still better?

Walker isn't a guard, though. Our only guards after this year are going to be J. Johnson (if he doesn't grad transfer), Bailey, Gaines, K. Johnson, James (maybe), and Springer (maybe). Nothing is proven out of that bunch. Bailey has an entire season of practice and development to make himself into a valuable player.

There are minutes there. Jalen Johnson can play the three, and I am guessing Gaines can, too.

Sure he’ll get some minutes but right now doesn’t look like a better situation for him than he had at his last school

Right now he’s on the team and will be practicing this season. Right now they’re in high school. Mebbe you can get aholt of his class schedule and talk some sense into him?

Do you attempt to contact all the Tennessee players and coaches who you comment on here?

I’m not as overly worried about their potential minutes next year as you appear. Less stakes...so no.

I’m not overly worried at all. I don’t really care if he plays or not. In fact, if he doesn’t I’d say it’s probably a good thing because we have James, springer, Keon and maybe even Jalen taking most of the minutes.

Some kids just need a change of scenery with a different group. His last 3 games at Oregon in the post season, he played 7 minutes, 4 minutes, and 1 minute. He saw the writing on the wall.

Bad personal situation...regardless of minutes. He sees Barnes as an improvement obviously.
