Best BB player to come out of your high school ?

[flacat22]

There was a Mr. Basketball 1975 at Tates Creek, so Horn wasnt the best.

Way before my time and the OP asked for 5 years so he was the best fitting my time there and the OP's criteria.

 

[STL_Cat]

No one anyone here has ever heard of probably (unless you’re from western KY).

Probably Adrian Armstead or David Simmons.

 

[USARMYWILDCAT]

Rex Chapman

 

[littlecreek]

His last name is Frodge. He is 60ish

He’s a neighbor of mine (such as it is in the sticks)

 

[littlecreek]

I’m originally from there myself.

Me too

 

[Myth Buster51]

Ha pardon if I brag a little but hard to decide.

What do y’all think?

Adrian Dantley
Sidney Lowe
Kenny Carr
Danny Ferry
Keith Bogans (honorable mention)
Joe Forte
Victor Oladipo
Markell’s Fultz
Jerami Grant
Quinn Cook

DeMatha didn't recruit!

My high school in West, Tn never produced much. Collectively we did well as teams in our district but Don Mann was the only standout I can recall. He might have ended up at Kentucky but he had a child and in those days having a kid was a no go for Hall from what I’ve been told. I’m sure that was just the prevailing thought from the day.

He ended up with bad knees, but I believed played at Murray. Had NBA potential but body didn’t hold.

Closest I can get is an hour over, Brownsville, TN - home of Tony Delk. He still remembers scorching us one year and my high school coach in a panic. We’ve laughed about it several times. Over private dinners. Just the 2 of us.

Phil Cox. He was Vanderbilts all time leading scorer at one time

 

[Deli owl]

My high school is still waiting for a best.

 

[Slowwalker]

Who came out of Lafayette besides Ernest P Worrell.

 

[crawfords corner]

I want to say Byron Larkin, but Jaxson Hayes and Miles Mcbride are playing in the NBA. Larkin was one hell of an athlete and could have become an NFL'er had he focused on that instead of basketball.

 

[Cawood86]

Phil Cox. He was Vanderbilts all time leading scorer at one time

Yep......Too bad they didn't have the 3 point shot when he played in high school and college

 

[fatguy87]

Well I knew that, I grew up playing football against him. Sucked being on kickoff team knowing that he was the one back there returning. Vinson might take the top spot at this point leading them to their one and only title and is off to a great start at NKU. Also if you graduated a couple years before Nic, then you graduated with my sister lol.

Oh snap! How about that? HHS class of '06 represent.

 

[Cawood86]

I only went to the school for 3 days before having to go to Southwestern but Reggie Hanson.

Played against Reggie. Very underrated player.

 

[Cawood86]

Dang. You're old.

Wah Wah was way before my time.

Mike silliman was better than scott.

Never saw Silliman play but...

Padgett (6'-9" 240lbs) was a 1st round NBA draft pick in 1999 (#28)
Silliman (6'-6" 225lbs) was 8th round (69th) in 1966

Padgett played 8 years in the NBA (4.2pts, 2.7rb, 0.7 ass) and 13.2 win shares
Silliman played 1 year in the NBA (2.5pts, 1.7reb, 0.6as) and 0.3 Win shares

In college Silliman did have better numbers against a softer schedule...

Silliman 19.7pts, 11.8 reb...strength of schedule was -2.20 below avgerage
Padgett 10.3pts, 5.3 reb...strength of schedule was +9.71 above average

Padgett also won a National Title playing a major role....

I'm 62. Just messing with you.

My daughter tutored SW at Jeff high...said he was a self entitled Ahole. When I told her he was the new hc there she said well I sure hope he's changed.

I can imagine being a Mc’Donalds AA from a small town and being a State Title team did that to him. Big man On campus.

Silliman. Olympic champ. And captain of that team

 

[sluggercatfan]

Talk to him about two /3 times a year.

 

[TheBlueCat]

Rajon Rondo

Anybody remember a Bill Heffler that played for Owensboro in the 60s.

I actually have a lot of pics of me and Tony. Just the two of us.

 

[kygent2]

Thats my friend, he lives near Norte Dame now, has a son Kaden , that suppose to be good

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Brandon Bender... remember him?

Yes. I worked with a guy who was trying to be his “agent.” Kid was a mess.

 

[drcats2013]

Sweet. Let’s see some?

Cameron Mills

Played at UK with his Father Terry Mills in 1970

The way you say that is a little odd. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

 

[Bluegrassking]

Doesn't matter much. I'm pretty sure we haven't produced a scholarship basketball player at any level even if I expand to the entire history. Sports was not our thing, didn't have football at all, still don't, and likely never will with something like a 1/4 of the entire census being required to fill a non Iron Man roster or 50% commitment when you remember it is only guys aka not happening.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I went to school with a guy that walked on at UofL under Crum, but Pitino showed him the door. So he transferred to KWC and I saw him on tv in the D2 title game once. I think that is pretty much peak Daviess County High School. There may be better players but I never cared enough to learn about them.

Hey BackerCutter, who’s your choice for Cumberland County?
