Following potential 2012 draftees

Most won't care about this, I know, but in UK's first round game (tonight 4:40mst) against Western Kentucky, there's a great MKG storyline. If anyone saw the HBO documentary featuring MKG, you saw his best friend, Derrick Gordon, and his tough fight to stay off the streets, out of gangs, and out of Jail .. if you have a heart, it's a touching story.

Anyway, St. Patrick's, where MKG and Gordon were teammates and best friends, won every game that year until #1 and #2 squared off for the final season game and they lost. They graduated and MKG went to UK while the 6'5 SG, Gordon, went to WKU. We know the story of MKG, fairly well, but Gordon leads his team in both points and rebounds. They still talk all the time, have remained best friends, but tonight will be the first time they've seen each other since their graduation.

MKG said, "it will be really nice to see Derrick, I'll probably be guarding him some of the game. I can't wait to see him and give him a big hug .. but when the ball's thrown up, it's about winning a championship and the war begins."

Lulz. You're on the wrong board.
 
One more thing on 6'9" Kyle Wiltjer (76 of 82 threes in 5 minute drill), I went back and looked at his shooting and in the last 6 weeks of the year, he's shooting 64% from behind the arc. He'll be a weapon next year when he gets more playing time.

I was coming to this thread to say that we needed another UK player being pimped by PKM. You read my mind.

There are worse guys than Steve Novak as your 10th/11th guy. That's all I have to say about Wiltjer.
