Take away his silly turnovers and he is a cheat code.

The kid is unbelievable. I almost feel like it’s the karma gods rewarding the BBN for all the disappointing in-state recruits we’ve suffered through by finally giving us one who seems damn near perfect.

I really hope he decides that furthering his education is important to him. NIL money will challenge NBA money. Insurance against future earnings is available. He would be able to run for Governor in KY. He would be a POY candidate, probably the favorite going into the season. Daddy will obviously be his financial advisor being that’s how he makes his living.

Yeah i selfishly think and hope another year is in the cards for Reed. Seriously, He’s the feel good story of the year. I mean we all thought he’d be a good solid role player, but very few ever thought he’d be this damn good.

Best “ basketball player” on this team and it’s not even close!

Reed was such a floor general today. His mistakes are far overshadowed by all the other things he does on a basketball court.

Show me a better freshman in the country

The only one who comes close is his own teammate.

Craziest damn situation: by far the two best freshman in the country on the same team, both lottery locks and quite likely Top 5 picks in this NBA draft, both guards around the same size, but NEITHER in the starting lineup.

Where else could that combination of occurrences happen other than the Calipari era at UK?

Like a video game. Kid is incredible.

 

[Montana81]

17pts, 4.4rbs, 6.8asts, 1.6 stls, on 62/59/100 shooting splits. Yeah…that’s not going to hold up for long i’m sure but he’s on quite a heater right now.

Edward’s is 14-21 from 3 over the last 6 games himself.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

The block on Ziegler was another right time, right place, high IQ play.

Dream scenario: Sheppard and Wagner return, and UK adds Peterson.

G - Sheppard - Fland - Perry
G - Wagner - Fland - Richmond
G - Peterson - Knox - Richmond - Burks
F - Quaintance - Thiero - Burks
C - Onyenso - Bradshaw - Cyril

And they couldn't be any more different as people and players but they play together so incredibly well. I think that dynamic is one of many things that make this team so incredibly likable
