Who is kentuckys worst starter of all time?

[Rupp'sRunt]

I’m torn between mark coury and Dwight perry.

Dwight perry actually started an ncaa tournament game against Nova I believe (I’m not looking it up) due to tubby accidentally listing him as a starter when Bobby perry was on the roster, what a weird screw up. He logged about 10 seconds and a foul.

mark coury inauspiciously played the first 5-6 minutes of every game because he was tough and BCG rewarded his toughness. He was just 10% tougher. He sucked.

Who do you all think was the worst? And senior night doesn’t count.

 

[STL_Cat]

Probably Coury, at least in my lifetime. Perry was an accident, lol. As you mentioned. Not sure that counts.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

Briscoe
Jasper

But yeah, Perry and Coury were God awful. It was a time of misery,

 

[UKWoodford]

Another productive thread. Almost as productive as the Wheeler booger thread he started.

 

[BlueWhite21]

Mark Coury, Sheray Thomas was the most frustrating dude to watch play ball though! I mean I never figured out wat the hell it was that got him so much time for a man that couldn’t shoot, jump, never making the right play and constantly just do dumb shit. Michael Porter was a rough one too.

Interesting edit, considering your first post in this thread actually offered a nominee?

100%

Gotta find the right narrative to push. And the candidate he offered was Saul smith for those who are wondering, which would look bad on him bc I’m pretty sure he was just loving tubby in another thread.

routine starter

How can you say Briscoe? He might not have been able to shoot but he gave full effort all the time when he was on the court. If people with all the talent in the world played as hard as him, they would be unstoppable.

Michael Porter.

Agree worse i can recall

 

[track42]

Devin Askew.

 

[electricat2]

im as harsh on players as anyone. i was way too harsh on my kids and my dad was harsh on me. but come on if they wore KENTUCKY across thier chest they are part of our family

 

[KY2LA]

Can you believe we had BJ, Keion, and Askew on the court at the same time. If I didn’t know better I would say Cal was trying to sabotage the UK basketball program. I mean dude…

 

[ganner918]

Briscoe
Jasper

Jasper was not worse than Michael Porter

Briscoe was not worse than Askew

Coury tops all

 

[BlueWhite21]

Boston.. how can all of you forget Boston?

But Boston was in the middle of all the Covid stuff so it was already not normal year so even that 9 win season gets a little bit of a pass that year like all things whether good or bad. Hell, Askew was pretty hard to watch as well but nobody ever pointed that out on here as I can recall so I thought I better provide that info 😂.

I'll make an exception for guys like Whitney who quit at the first adversity, Sharpe who quit before he ever started, and Porter who was a pedo.

[Titpwhami2014]

In terms of stars vs. results — I have to go with Askew.

 

[BigCat241]

Boston isnt even a top 10 worst starter we have had IMO. He scored in double figures in like 80% of his games and had some really solid games here albeit also some really terrible ones.

 

[Nubb16]

Michael Porter
Askew

Them putting Dwight Perry into an NCAA tournament starting lineup, truly shows the incompetence and disorganization on the staff at that time

In my opinion that is the worst starter in UK history. It’s not Perry’s fault at all, rules are rules. Matter of fact, I’d say it’s a bottom 10 moment in UK bball history

 

[drew_ukfan]

Edit cause I can’t read lol

Sheray Thomas was awful, that’s my vote

 

[bucsrule8872]

My vote is for Coury.

Cal era: Harrow or Askew.

 

[Nuke99m]

Coury

I’m a part of my family but when I got to eating too many pain pills my family members wasn’t happy with me when I was out here taking a extra one or 2 sometime a few and nodding out and just pissing all over everything! 😂 I mean they had a right to be upset and talk shit about me and I’m glad they did now. But if they family we shouldn’t just turn our back on them.

Now, if we talking bout Tom Payne , Michael Porter and some of these jerks like Masiello🤼‍♂️ we might whoop his ass.. he just family by marriage. Payne only fam by rape. 😂

Jon Scott had a chart where Boston was the worst shooting player in program history for someone that played over 100 minutes in a season. Sure, he got double digits often, but the team almost always lost because of it.

 

[westerncat]

Boston !

 

[Padsfs07]

Older era, but I didn’t like Gimel Martinez as a starter. Thomas was worse though.

In that Thomas year, Tubby also started Shagari, Sims, and Stockton.

Oh man … Gimel was no star but I hate to see his name mentioned in this thread 😬

@Ed323232 said Boston wasn’t that bad or I think it wasnt overrated. I think he said he was fine. Just wanna make sure I’m quoting you right Ed.

 

[Padsfs07]

Sean Sutton played 32 MPG and averaged 5.9 PPG. Is that the worst player by minutes?

 

[Bassworship]

Mark Courey under Gillespie at it isn't close lol.

It’s honestly the only acceptable answer in this thread.

Martinez basically lost the Michigan final four game giving up a rebound on a missed free throw follow by an And 1 on Chris Webber in rapid succession

 

[Magilla Gorillla]

Why though?

 

[Woodrow_Call_1998]

I agree. After him I would have to say Saul Smith was the second worst that I can remember.
