We have multiple guards that bring the same thing to the table as Bowden and can hopefully bring the offense must consistently. There is nothing Bowden did that VB and KJ can't do. And once KJ is conformable he will be better in every aspect of the game. That is not too diss on Bowden, just reality. I would argue the opposite about Fulky. Second half of last season he was the focus of every gameplan and he had very little help making the other team pay for their gameplan. This season teams will certainly try that again early in the season but we have much more offensive firepower around him. Defense will not be able to focus solely on him. We will have plenty of games where out leading scorers look like this: 15, 14, 12, 11, 10.

Bailey will never put up the numbers Bowden did and he's not in the same league defensively. Keon is a bigger, faster and now stronger Bowden, I said the same in a post last year.

Early season comments:
1) Bowden will be missed
2) sometimes, having 5 good players is better than have 10 good players
3) how will Fulky respond when he is the focus of the opponent's game plan?
4) JJJ - shot still looks suspect
5) Full court press should be effective

Enjoy the journey...

You'll see the rotation shrink the closer we get to tournament time. I think he treated the 1st game like a scrimmage, it'll be interesting to see Coach Barnes approach to Cincinnati. It'll be baptism by fire this Saturday.

Not sure if you are under estimating Bailey or over estimating Bowden IMO. They are different players in different circumstances but I think Bailey can be just as good.

Never going to be close defensively I think. I also think that Tues' game will end up being one of Bailey's best of the year. Once Keon and Springer get going and start taking more shots most of the spot up jumpers will be going to Vescovi. Offensively I didn't see anything from Bailey other than just his spot up jumper, something he's really good at but about all he brings on the offensive end. Not going to be enough shots out there for him to do much more than what he did Tue.

I think you are assuming too much from one game....and it being the first game. Barnes likes experience and defense and his shooting ability should keep him getting steady mins unless he goes into a slump.

Bowden’s UT career...
28mpg 10.3ppg 40%fg 46%2ptfg 34%3ptfg


I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Bailey very close to those numbers, MPG & PPG may be slightly less (Bowden’s tenure didn’t include this wing depth), but I bet the percentages are higher.

I bet that he'll never avg 13 a game as Bowden did last season. I'll also wager that Tuesday will end up being one of his 5 best scoring outputs of the year for him, maybe even top3. He's not in the same league as Bowden defensively I feel.

He had 8 points iirc. All he has to do is score 9 or more points in 5 different games remaining this year. He looks to have a nice stroke and I am glad he is a part of this team. You are probably correct about him not averaging 13 ppg this year. There are more scoring options available this season compared to last. I look forward to seeing how he progresses.

I think he's a good player but I also feel he's number 8 or 9 on this roster and those guys usually don't avg much.

He may not, but that could be as much of a reflection as surrounding talent...Bailey won’t be asked to look to score like Bowden was, Kevin Punter averaged more PPG than Chris Lofton, Admiral Schofield or Grant Williams ever did, there’s more to it than just PPG.

There is more to it than ppg and the other 4 perimeter guys do more of it than Bailey does. He's never going to be the lead guard option on any team regardless of the talent around him. Lead guards have more to their offensive makeup than just being a spot up jump shooter. Sorry but that type player has never impressed me much.

If the two missing bigs you’re referring to are Walker and Pember, I don’t think they’ll be making significant contributions this year anyhow

I thot Walker was going to contribute. Is he not? Was actually hoping Pember could get an RS. Could really help him develop.

Like TGO said, this year doesn’t count towards anybody’s eligibility anyhow, so no redshirts, but I doubt Walker gets more than spot minutes

Not really. I'd say around mid season of SEC play and definitely come tournament time. I get it, you're big on Bailey.

If it takes that long for those guys to pass him up I would say it’s pretty unlikely their season averages surpass Baileys...it’s just odd if it’s so clear cut why you think Bailey will beat them out for more than half a season?
