Bad news about Gardner; reserves will have to step up

FAIRBORN — Some time this morning, Wright State will hear some bad news about sophomore reserve guard John David Gardner.

Gardner is expected to hear he broke a bone in his foot — the same foot he injured three years ago at North Carolina-Wilmington, but not the same bone.

Mark Katz did a nice summary on all of our injuries. I think losing Gardner will be a big loss for the team. Not only was he a key sub but now Vaughn, Todd, & Will will have to log many more minutes. How long can all these guys play thirty-five minutes plus without wearing out? Another reason this will hurt is that John David was probably our best pure point guard.

In order for us to over come this situation a couple of things will have to occur. First, Troy Tabler needs to step up and be more consistent and be able to log twenty plus PRODUCTIVE minutes per game. Second, Will Graham is going to have to continue to develop as our point guard. If Will can hold his own and run this team then we can over come the loss of John David. More then anything the loss of Gardner kills our depth.
