5-Star Dillingham Prediction for UK & Patrick Baldwin Jr. Rumor
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54
- Start date
Teague could get to the rim at will which is one of the things I said Cal needed. He also finished at a much high clip than Wheeler and shot 40% from 3 in the tournament (and I’ve been a Wheeler defender all year but Teague was an elite college PG the last third of the season).
Teague was also surrounded by the #1 and #2 picks and multiple other NBA players. We don’t get that mass collection of lotto picks anymore. So if your point is Cal needs a starting 5 full of first rounders or an Elite PG then sure.
Point is, his offensive strategy is based on a PG that can attack the rim successfully. The Twins and Teague both did that very well.
Main culprit in someone's eyes that don't know what they're watching. We would have been down by 20 in the first half if not for Andrew Harrison. He kept us in that game
Not counting on Tshiebwe or Sharpe returning.
If we could get them back, and add Dillingham and Baldwin, then maybe we could be somewhat competitive.
But like I said, it’s kind of silly to even entertain the thought of Sharpe playing for us next year, and it’s a long shot that we get Tshiebwe back.

Nope. Doesn't mean there's nothing to it but usually on Portal guys, don't hear much. I remember getting a lot of crap for saying I didn't think he was worthy of a top of the class ranking but seeing what he does well when healthy/UK needs, I'd take him over the guys we've watched recently. Also tied to Tyler Herro's AAU team.
It’s not about keeping Cal because of his buyout. It about news on the team going forward and what’s going on toward next year. Get off peoples ass that want to discuss positive and potential. A few of you take any chance to hijack a thread and maker it about it Cal. There are plenty in f threads for that.
You may have been asked this and I apologize if you have but have you heard anything on dillingham
Just heard that it's been suggested to get this type of guard again and the original plan was for him to reclass and be part of next year's team when he was recruited in Fall.
That would be good, hopefully calipari and the staff reach out again he is a game changer
He and his brother also played too much in that game and were gassed at the end of it! They might not have got those shot clock violations if thy had played less minutes
You want positive and potential .. have at it . I'll be here to remind you how we are screwing up if we dont come up with a way to get rid of Cal. Just how it is
What is the Baldwin rumor? Did I miss something? Kid is late first round at worst, doubt he transfers.
He didn’t have a great year because of injuries and playing in a bad conference, but people are hinting at it him coming to Kentucky. There’s also some duke speculation
You know, if Cal and staff could somehow manage to add Dillingham and Baldwin to the class featuring Wallace and Livingston, keep Sharpe from going pro, and somehow manage to bring back big Oscar and possibly TyTy, Cal would have the most elite talent on the roster at one time than he's had in a very long time. If he couldn't win 30 games and make a final four with that roster, he might as well just retire. I know that's a lot of "ifs" and I'm not counting on all of that actually panning out. But it is within the realm of being possible. As bleak as things feel right now, we could still end up with a loaded squad next season. And at that point it becomes do or die time for Cal. There won't be any excuses if he fails with a group like that.
Uh, you need to work on those math skills.
If you adjust his averages last year to this years minutes, he would have averaged 13.6 pts, 12.5 reb, AND 4.0 fouls.
You are correct that it would be, but unfortunately it’ll be without multiple pieces and sounds to be heavily reliant on freshman.
I want to see what Cal does with the roster, but I’m not confident because we have seem to always end up with a glaring hole or roster deficiency that limits our upside
I’m hearing that there’s almost no chance that Dillingham reclassifies. If he comes here, it’ll be for 2023.
Baldwin is a stud. He had a terrible year. I read an article that the Spurs have 3 first round picks and are looking at Baldwin. I think he goes, but would probably have a monster soph. year if he came back.
Save it for your other 59 hate threads or better yet go to rafters. People want to discuss other aspects of UKs basketball future that just cry about Cal.
Do you have stats that back this up? I'm curious. Or is this just based on your emotions or what you felt?
Wheeler also gets to the rim at will.
Wheeler's shooting stats are at least on par if not better than Teague's.
My point is we could've won a title with Wheeler. Every time we win, we don't have an Elite PG. The few times we've had Elite PGs we did not win. And the closest we got recently was D-Fox.
Sahvir had weaknesses. Attacking the rim was not one of them.
We all know puke eats first if they want him he is a lock. Thanks Calipari
Unfortunately that probably true I hope duke doesn’t want him and Kentucky gets him and another scorer because sharpe is gone
The poster above was saying Cal turned Oscar into the POY. That Oscar only averaged 10/8 last year at WVU. All I'm saying is he only played 19 min a game. If he had played 35 min his numbers would have been very close to what he did this year. Oscar is my favorite player. He had a hell of a year. I hope he's back next year. I doubt Oscar needed much help with his game. Nah I think my math skills are fine. Maybe you need to work on common sense and quit being a little bitch
This is where Cal’s Farm Club comes from, we will have guys get spots that never play. Call them walk-ons that don’t play.
Andrew Harrison was an elite pg. He wasn't an NBA caliber player, but he was certainly an elite college player. I'd put Teague in that same category.
You can be elite, but still not have what it takes to play NBA ball. Oscar and Juzang are 2 more examples of this.

Yeah, I don't get why so many posters dump on Teague. He was a tough pg.
People forget in that December game at Indiana, most of the team pussed out, but Teague kept UK in that game. He kept getting into the paint and forcing the action.
He just wasn't a pro guard and should have returned to UK.
WTH was elite about Andrew Harrison? He was big, but he was also a bit slower, wasn't a particularly strong shooter or assist man. He didn't seem to have the highest basketball IQ either. He was avg defensively.
Oscar will make more guaranteed money at UK than anywhere else he could go. His case is different, so I expect him back at UK next season and if Cal cares about winning, he'll make sure that happens.
That is 100% NOT what he said. lol And the numbers don't lie; he played less than half a game on average.
Cal's aiming to get one of these two for next season to help soften the blow of Sharpe's departure. Be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Yeah those percentages aren't indicative of the kind of shooter he truly can be. He would absolutely help stretch the floor and open up driving lanes. Landing him would be a huge pickup.
