That will depend on what happens with Ryan Jones. Last night

shows that Wessler is ahead of Jones right now. That isn’t surprising since Wessler’s starting his 3rd year here and Jones is just beginning to learn CMY’s system, but Jones has more upside. We’ll have to see how fast Jones comes up to speed and then see how Wessler is used as Jones picks up the system. I’m guessing if/when Jones passes him Wessler could still be used situationally or for spot duty, Right now Wessler is CMY’s best back up option if CMY wants to limit the time he uses Lawal at the 5 position behind Poteat, and that appeared to be the case last night.

IMO, Wessler is not ACC level or close to it. Div. II player at best.**
George Baylor • 11/06/24 08:33 AM ET
He can provide minutes here and there
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/07/24 12:36 AM ET
Hard disagree, he’s a serviceable backup 5 at this point
soflahokie • 11/06/24 04:22 PM ET
And here I thought he had an ACC scholarship.
Pylons • 11/06/24 10:11 AM ET
The ACC scholly doesn't mean he belongs in the ACC...

Yeah, I get that, but

D2 is way over the top **

How did he do in his 9 minutes? Most likely minutes of reserves go down as

Awesome and insightful answer! Ty!**
stescham • 11/06/24 08:07 PM ET
I honestly don't even care if he's "good enough" to play vs ACC teams.
Gobbler-100 • 11/05/24 06:54 PM ET
I'm expecting Wessler to look decent against Delaware St, SC Upstate,

Michigan will be the true first test, they have multiple skilled 7 footers**

So they are the "F$U of the north?"**
EDGEMAN • 11/05/24 09:10 PM ET
True and he very well could appear to take a step back or two. However, I
VTHokie2000 • 11/05/24 05:50 PM ET
He did look much better. Props to his hard work. **
st_andrew • 11/05/24 04:31 PM ET
Is there a third 5 on the squad?
EDGEMAN • 11/05/24 03:26 PM ET
Jones is the third 5.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 11/05/24 03:48 PM ET
Who had more minutes at the 5; Lawal or Wessler?**
VTHokie2000 • 11/05/24 05:55 PM ET
Fairly even.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 11/05/24 06:22 PM ET
Guessing Jones just needs a bit of time to learn system, esp. hedge D.

Someone mentioned last night he's still getting in basketball shape. Yet

Once he is in basketball shape, then does that mean Wessler's minutes will

Haven't a clue. CC can probably answer that better than I ever can. He's

His footwork was greatly improved and he looked more muscular as well.**
