I honestly think Wilkinson has shown more polish, at least in the past 3 games, than Jaylen ever did at Cal. Brown had the NBA body and athleticism obviously, but he was sooo raw.
Brown was raw, but he also was good defender and rebounder which made him a winning player despite being a little sloppy with the ball. We won a lot of games that season because of his athleticism.
Agreed. Not taking anything away from him, P…dude was the 3rd overall pick. He’s great…no arguments. And I’m not saying Wilkinson is better than a lottery pick.
But JB also spent a lot of time on the bench in foul trouble, many of which were player control ones on the offensive side of the ball when he tried to muscle his way into the lane. Small sample size v nonP4 competition notwithstanding, Wilkinson’s efficiency these past 3 games have been impressive, and he’s dropped a couple of dimes while getting into the lane at will without fouling.
During warm ups, Devin’s always working on his three and he’s looked way better shooting them. It was good to see all the practice translate to the game!
Wilkinson ballin rn (25p and counting) and he only a frosh. this team really is deep and good. hopefully this is j the beginning and we see more exciting things. #gobears
Missing the game but following on line. It’s time to start Wilkinson. Tucker’s pace is too deliberate for this team. He would be a good change of pace backup.
I was told by someone on staff that Blacksher has a slight knee sprain he is 50/50 for the Missouri game. Campbell is a minor leg thing he’ll be back for Missouri. And Omot is a wrist break he is week to week.
Jeremiah is SAUTEING
This team’s ceiling just raised a little higher…
we've all got the urge to skip the game
Mercyhurst guy postered Lee Dort my lord
Cal up 11
no skipping here. (out of town but streaming in my hotel room)
Wilkinson: best frosh since…Jaylen?
I will not have this Matt Bradley erasure.

First time at 6-1 since 2016. Bring on the Sheriff!!
Hopefully they can be at full strength soon.
Devin Curtis has legit ACC big man size…and that 3/FT strokes were pure.
Interesting….

This is such an intriguing roster, especially at full strength.

Be interesting how the lineup shakes out by conference season.
I loved the addition of Mahoney.
Any idea how long Blacksher, Campbell and Omot are out?

Broken wrist or sprained wrist? He’ll be out for a very long while if a break.
OK, cool. Thank you for the news.
Go Bears.
Beat the Lakers!
Go Bears!!
