Kerr Kriisa's assists today

I think by January we have 9 guys who will be fairly interchangeable without noticeable drop off.

I include Chandler in that group, because I believe he is largely knocking the rust off. I think there’s a point in time where he may be the 4th or 5th option on the floor, but will be the most athletic. I suspect there will come a time where he will makes some teams pay.

I also include Almonor. Think he gives us a different look, but it isn’t a drop off really. Kind of has a Bryce Hopkins vibe to me.

I think Garrison is the one heavy rotation guy who causes some slippage. Suspect he will be hit or miss most of the year. He just isn’t as comfortable in the flow of what we’re trying to do as the other guys, imo.

I think you can also drop to Travis Perry and be fine. I just don’t think he’s on the level of the 2 guys in front of him at pg.

I also don’t think Noah kills us in a pinch, especially on the offensive end. I’ve said since the offseason that I prefer him as a stretch 4 in a small ball lineup. Think he can cause some mismatches offensively, and hurt us less defensively in that role.

The best thing about yesterday's win

Best part of the game, I watched it. If the last guy was still here I would not have watched.

Other good part is Butler had an off game, Oweh had an off offensive game, it did not hurt, against lesser team but still did not hurt.

There is more ball movement on this team than there is at a male strip club.

GO BIG BLUE!!!

UK stats after two games

3-point percentages are rough outside of Brea and Oweh.
Oweh has missed his last 4.
Jaxson Robinson shooting 30% from 3.
Kerr and Butler have combined for 1 three made in 2 games at the point guard spot.

There is possible worry in the three-point shooting of some of these guys not shooting well against cupcakes.
Nerves probably.
It's usually the one time you will make shots LOL

Recheck these stats in three games
Kerr made 2 3s last night

Not sure I'd have done that...
You guys are missing a couple points of context. 1. Assume he has season tix. If you sit next to the ball girl all season, you are likely yo get your share. 2. The young man appears to be sitting between 2 ladies, one younger. Could be his girlfriend, or a girl he wants to impress. If true, he scored major points w that girl. She probably humped him during sweet caroline.

The size is solid. Depth is good. Williams, Butler and Oweh are a three headed hydra.
The entire team has great potential. Williams should be a solid double double. Carr too. Butler and Oweh have a synergy together defensively that are straight up.... the only way I can say after seeing the small selection sample size is .... bulldog. I'm thinking each will average 3 steals per game. That would be ridiculous, and certainly not expected, but they are capable. That's the point. Oweh has looked all around smooth. Robinson could average 20 per game. He is a volume scorer, but has looked great in other ways outside a pure outside shooting threat. Brea as well. Both are all around talented, experienced players.

Overall, I like the defense and rebounding improvements. Brea off the bench is statistically insane. Almonor is rock solid smooth (a sleeper stud on our team) Garrison has great hands and good size, provides more depth, and Chandler is getting in and getting his, too. All our guys can knock down shots.

Um. Tell me again why I think UK is looking top #12ish ? ... and not #23 ?!?

are my eyes getting too old & blue tinted ?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Kentucky !

Go Big Blue ! (Beat dUKe!)

POLITICAL THREAD

History will show the One Billion Dollar campaign of Kamala Harris was the biggest disaster in Presidential politics. She blew through One Billion and is in debt by $20 million. Shameful.

However, Donald Trump is urging the Republican Party donate to Democrats, and help Kamala Harris pay off this $20Million campaign debt. We are seeing a President-Elect who wants to show his willingness to let bygones be bygones and work across the aisle. She called him a Nazi and we voters Nazi's but he is a man who sees a woman in deep trouble and is willing to help her. Would I do it? Hell no but I am not a politician nor do I forgive and forget like Donald Trump does. He is showing himself to be a man and taking the high road.

Trump to the rescue.

POLITICAL THREAD

You are not, no offense to you. I played minor league ball for a very short time but I played.

A baseball from the field of the Major Leagues was sacred at one time. It was beyond imagination to be able just to touch one much less have one.

Imagine having a basketball that Michael Jordan touched? Lebron? In baseball having a ball that Al Kaline may have threw, Lou Brock, Pet Rose may have hit or touched.

Now in a normal game back in the day say 30k people were at the Stadium and at some point a dozen or couple dozen baseballs made it to the fans. The fan may be able to go to a couple games a season. What are the odds of getting a Major League baseball for your own???

If you really know baseball... That is just a short summation of why it is really odd for a fan to give a baseball away. (Shows me first, they are a casual fan at best.) (Nothing wrong with that but it is true.)

Yes I have seen adults give away baseballs to kids. But it is miniscule in the grand scheme... (Look at the big picture...)

At one time before expansion, baseball was sacred to me... Now it is a watered down version of true Major League baseball at best. Just not that many great players to field what they field now....
john bench hit a line drive hr to me in the left field lower seats at riverfront stadium, ball went through my hands to my wife sitting behind me with family members. a guy behind her nearly mauled her going after the ball, which he got. only time i ever came close to a ball at a game. my bil with me charged me with an error for not holding on to the ball

Kerr Kriisa's assists today

And should’ve. Careless. It’s an interesting dynamic. Butler isn’t much of a passer or facilitator. Not much of a finisher, but he is capable of getting downhill. And boy can he defend. But Kriisa is the straw that stirs the drink when he’s in. After watching four games I honestly think the best lineup is Kriisa/Brea/Robinson/Oweh/Williams. The top 7 are all interchangeable. I think there’s a pretty significant drop off after that. I know some are enamored with Garrison, but he’s pretty rough. Almonor and Chandler are limited. Of the three, I think Almonor has the biggest chance to make an impact this season. Knocks down shots and has extremely high IQ on the court.
I agree wholeheartedly with this!!!very happy with our team but I have no clue what our fans are seeing in Garrison? Extremely raw. Lots of potential but extremely limited and raw rn. I think Chandler will be a really good player for us, in the next year or 2.
