4 Cats, 4 Suns, all in double figures!

Yep, their front court sucks. They'll have to either trade a guard or two to get a good big, or suck really bad this year and get lucky to get Skal or Simmons in the draft.
 
That is awesome. All 4 guys in double figures that is, not losing. I admit I'm surprised the Suns kept all 4, but now they need some help up front. We can't have an NBA team with 4 ex-Cats on it not being a good team.

I'm guessing you also took note of Towns and Randle's performances last night. I watched the game. Both looked really good. And as an added bonus Prince also starts for the T-Wolves.
 
That's the good news. The bad is that their team got slaughtered.

It was kind of like that for a lot of the UK guys last night. AD started to look like AD again, after a terrible first game, but only after his team got humiliated in the first half, trailing 70-43 at halftime. Cousins had a classic Cousins' game- some huge positives (32/13, and he hit 4 threes) mixed with some huge negatives (8 TO's, and he fouled out). Nerlens put up some big numbers, but the Sixers got beat pretty bad. Julius had a really good 2nd half after a slow start, but the Lakers lost.

The 2 guys who seemed to have everything work were Wall and Towns. Wall was his typical self (although the FIVE blocks he had isn't typical for any guard, even himself), and got the W, and Towns had an excellent debut in a win.

All of Cal's UK guys are young by NBA standards, and nearly all of them were drafted into bad franchise situations, but it would be nice to see some of them start to be lead guys on teams that are a threat to make deep playoff runs. Right now, too many are just putting up numbers for losing teams.
 
Since that is what the entire thread is about, it's not much of a stretch to understand the "one team" as Kentucky. I guess I could have written "4 guards - each of whom had participated as a scholarship athlete in the sport of college basketball in recent years at the University of Kentucky -- one game -- all in double figures" for the more literal readers.
I took one team to mean the Suns.
 
Remember when the Suns drafted Alex Len over Nerlens?

Glad that's working out for them.
