All-time Craftiest Cats?

[Dirk2Bowie]

After seeing Jamal Murray play a few times it's pretty clear that he has that sneaky, crafty, old man game when he chooses. Got me to thinking about all the guys we've seen that will be aggravating teenagers at the YMCA one day when they are grey.
First team captain has to be Tyler Ulis. The way he jumps AWAY from shot blockers instead of up at them has to really bother defenders when they are taking the ball out of the net.
Erik Daniels...unorthodox to the max...and effective in pissing off defenders.
Jamal Magloire...not a great scorer,but excelled at sneaky anger-inducing old man D.

Those are the first four to come to mind but wondered if any of the pre-mid 80's guys were known for their crafty play?

 

[bigbluelou]

Not 80's but Doron Lamb was crafty as hell.

 

[kyboy1998]

Daniels was my first instinct.

Actually the whole 03 team.

 

[Aike]

Rondo.

 

[bigbluelou]

Also Gerald Fitch.

 

[Dirk2Bowie]

Murray, Fitch and Rondo all own a spot on the All-Rebounding Guards team too. Couldnt be a better time to have a great G Rebounder around than this year.

 

[Dirk2Bowie]

Lambs baseline floaters and layups would qualify for sure.

 

[GOING FOR #9]

Calipari

 

[YouKay]

Cliff Hawkins stands out in my mind. Still remember his ankle breaker vs. UL in 2001.

 

[Ben101er]

Larry Conley.

 

[Orville Boggs]

Tashawn Prince

 

[thebluestreak]

Patrick Sparks and no one else is even close.

 

[mktmaker]

Dirk Minniefield

 

[Orange Soda King]

Shagari Alleyne

 

[Ripcord65]

One has to be pretty crafty to be the size of Chuck Hayes and rebound like he did. I always thought Winston Bennett was similarly crafty on the boards.

[docholiday51]

Larry Steele
Tommy Kron
Ronnie Lyons
Pat Riley
Truman Claytor
Dicky Beal

I think fit in here somewhere.

Murray super crafty as is Ulis and Brisco ...all 3 1st round picks

 

[WhiteCityCat1]

Rex Chapman was pretty crafty with his game. As far as a one game example The Goose against Duke and Jodie Meeks stomping on rocky top.

 

[KYtotheCore]

Always thought Ed Davender was crafty

 

[kyboy1998]

Always thought Ed Davender was crafty

On and off the court.

 

[Ky grandpa]

Dwight "Lighting" Anderson, could out run a Cheetah.

 

[Kybluedude]

Jim Andrews

 

[buckkiller]

Daniels and Rondo comes to mind.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Daniels was my first instinct.

Actually the whole 03 team.

Exactly what I came in here to post on Daniels.

 

[Nubb16]

First thought was Erik Daniels. He had that finger roll for days. Must have been like a huge Gervin fan.

 

[Dirk2Bowie]

Cliff Hawkins stands out in my mind. Still remember his ankle breaker vs. UL in 2001.

Thats got to be my favorite crossover of all time too. Thats saying a lot considering all the great guards we've seen at UK.

 

[kyboss360]

Wayne Turner was pretty damn crafty at times. Played really well in traffic.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Chuck Hayes. Undersized but could score and rebound. His craftiness has kept him in the NBA.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Lamb and Daniels were the first two that came to my mind.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

 

[weused2luvhim2]

Patrick Sparks and no one else is even close.

This

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Erik Daniels rebounded a ball against Duke, dribbled behind his back in a flash and went back up and put it in faster than Krycholsky's back could spasm. He had all these interesting angles that he played from that I think made a lot of people see him as crafty. I know that was the first name that came into my mind when I saw the OP.

 

[Chairman Meow]

if you mean "arts and crafts" crafty, I would say Heissenbuttel hands down.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Don't be Arts & Crafty Rob Lowe.

 

[Kycatspaws]

I always thought Ramel Bradley was kinda crafty. He would also trash talk and do annoying things to get into the opposing players heads.
