Why Are't We Seeing Washpun More?

So what's up with Washpun? Why aren't we seeing him more? I'd love it, if he could break into the starting lineup at PG and we could move Golden to starting SG. I think the starting lineup would be so much more consistent.

go back and watch the Vol vs gator game. When the gator's pressed his was a turnover waiting to happen. Give him a year or two and he will be really good. He is a good defender and can jump out of the gym. a year of development and coaching and he will be good!

+1

he gives us a great spark but unfortunately he just is raw there is no other way to flip it he is raw. ball handling needs to be worked on, decision making needs worked on, passing needs worked on. more than anything his shot really needs to be worked on as well, when he is out there he is a turnover waiting to happen and just cant provide much offensively. on defense he his a hoss and fun to watch though and for this reason i am very excited about his future here at tennesse. as stated above a year in the gym and working on the things the staff wants he will improve tremendously.

Ky would have pressed the hell out of him. And he doesn't shoot well.

Washpun isn't ready. He should get better after a year in the program.

Memphis exposed him as his ball handling skills are not good when teams press him. He'll get better, just a Frosh playing at the D1 level.

even though he hasnt been getting any playing time lately it hasnt stopped him from being into the game. much like jordan mcrae they are very energized on this sidelines and very much into the game, thats always good to see.

I like his intensity but he's no where near ready to play. I don't think we see much more of him this year

i would say washpun, yemi, and obviously miller are guys that we wont see again(barring a new years incident replay). i think mcbee's minutes will start to really dwindle down as well to with stokes increasing his.

Washpun is showing why the majority of his offers came from the Dakotas.

He was a desperation PG pickup that, quite frankly, isn't any good.

His handle is bad for a point guard even worse when under pressure.

And he doesn't have much of a shot.

But, man, he can jump out of the building. Still, he shouldn't see time except in mop up duty.
