What's new

2011 draft.....

Well he can certainly jump high. If he can focus his athleticism into staying in front of his man on d, and create some offense on the other side, even if that means posting up other 3's and keeping them honest with the occasional 3 ball, i still think he can be very successful.

Perhaps this should go in the dream draft thread. Here's mine.

#3: Draft BPA. If Kanter and Knight are there, go Kanter. Field offers. If the Wiz are interested like the rumors state, and Knight falls to them, trade them Kanter for Knight and an unprotected 1st next year. Washington's other two picks this year are nice. But hold out for the unprotected 1st.

#12: Biyombo. Get him here or move up to get him but get him one way or the other.

Then, buy a couple picks and draft BPA wings.

If we can come out of this with Knight (via Washington), Washington's unprotected 1st next year, Biyombo, and one or two other intriguing prospects, I'd ****.

This is my dream. A dream yes it is. But we all have them and sometimes they come true.
 
I know, I agree. I tend to only bring it up under two cicumstances;

1) Someone asks my opinion of a UK player
2) Someone bashes the players, coach, team, with bad info.

I find it hard to just sit back and listen to things thrown around as facts .. when they're simply and entirely wrong. I need to work on just letting it go ... just hard-headed.

And yet Coach Cal opened all of these questionable players with open arms. The facts are there and staring you right in the face. You fail to acknowledge them because he is now coaching your team. The guy is slimy plain and simple. This is only the stuff we know that his program has been under investigation for. You know there are many more instances that likely haven't seen the light of day.
 
Since there seems to be a general disagreement on Calipari and his character, let's just get an objective mediator to step in here. Say John Chaney?

He welcomed Bledsoe BEFORE there was an investigation ... and he was cleared anyway. Hate all you want, buy UK hasn't had the SLIGHTEST slap on the wrist in more than 20 years. That's longer than Indiana, UConn, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA .. on and on and on. Oh, and an argument that everyone else just got caught and UK hasn't is weak, weak, weak. THIS really is my last post on the subject. As I said from the beginning, this is not the forum, and it's a multi-page debate that no one concedes anything.

This has everything to do with Coach Cal and not what UK's past is. Sorry but the guy is a scumbag. Last post.
