Julius Mays at SG
Poythress
Willie Cauley-Stein
Nerlens Noel
Archie has led UK in scoring in every scrimmage of the year. It's only scrimmages, but Cal's practices are intense and every one includes refs calling the games. Archie is averaging 30pts, 4rbs, and 4asts per 36. I haven't seen anything more than a few clips yet, but watching Archie play point is obviously something I'm keying on. I asked one of the assistants if Archie was going to get real in-game opportunities to play point this year and his answer was it's a 100% certainty.
Noel coming along very quickly. It's early, but I would guess that Nerlens Noel and WCS or the 2nd and 3rd best shot-blockers, all-time, at UK .. next to Davis, of course.
Poythress is struggling a little bit the last few days, but it's obvious he's got major game. I'm going to be that if we get the 7th pick, we're going to be able to get him .. I'm guessing he goes 6 - 8.
Would love to get Poythress or Goodwin (especially if he can play PG). But just to clarify, the highest pick we can get this year is 8th. There seems to be a lot of misunderstandings about this.
