Keepin' it real... real dumb.
Briscoe really motivated from not getting drafted.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
Broscoe has lots of areas to work and improve on,but even if he gets better it won't be good enough for the Big Dogs.....,,
Smooth doesn't wear blue anything unless it's baby blue, and originally a Maryland fan.
I'm surprised so many continue to respond to his hit and run posts after all these years.
A lot of leagues overseas only allow 1 or 2 non Europeans on each team. He might play somewhere but I don't think he will make it in the premier Euro leagues. Probably somewhere he really don't want to be. I hope he makes a good living playing ball but he should have been a 4 year player from the word go.
Oh yeah he'd start........ I'm in the thank god Briscoe is gone boat. His remarks about UK being behind him........and being the one guy who left UK this year not to just gush over his time at UK is very telling....... so long briscoe... have fun in china.
I know many posters here defend him with those comments he made but sorry... you just dont make those comments trying to put your past behind you without looking on that past negatively...
Staying 2 more years at UK cuts into the number of years he can earn money playing basketball anywhere. Why not start now. College is not going to make him better at basketball than "overseas" is going to make him. He can always go get his degree. "Liftetime scholarships", right?
You think he would have played on Kentucky's team next year if he stayed? Aren't the guys coming in better?
I don't think Green is our prototypical point guard under Coach Cal and likely will be at least a 2 or 3 year player. Coach Cal has been very good towards the high ranking guys that he is helping get drafted. There is no doubt in my mind Briscoe would have started at the 1 next year and been given every opportunity to prove he can lead the team. Green would have backed him up and taken over the next year similar to Ulis backing up Andrew Harrison.
Briscoe was done with UK and Coach Cal after this season. He has always had an inflated image of himself and his skill level. His "entourage" wanted him to be featured more in Cal's system, but his lack of athleticism and shooting skills kept him from being "The Man".
I'm just glad he left amicably, for the most part.

I read this four times and still don't know what the hell it means.
He would of been drafted but they ran out of draft selections. How ya been smooth?
No glory in the bus leagues, just some play and a little pay. He may have been well served to recalibrate his attitutude and commit to the Big Blue for the remainder of his eligibility. I think if he had stayed and maintained a good attitude, he would have gotten good playing time and maybe starter status. I saw his role next year (if he stayed) as a "seasoned upperclassmen"--the kind of player you could have on the floor to settle down the young guys.....stay wired into Coach Cal on the sideline, make a couple of clutch shots....a crunch time smart guy who knows when to get tough w/ one of talented freshman. One or two more years wouldn't have done much for his NBA draft prospects, but I think the lower league money would have been there for him regardless of how long he stayed at UK. Why not work toward college immortality and a NC? Even if we don't win a ring while he is here, he gets four-year Wildcat soldier love from the UK fans and alumni.....sort of like C Hayes (although Chuck had a nice NBA run)--plus a college degree.
Plus the whole living like a god thing...
I wonder how many players who couldn't leave UK fast enough look back on that time as the best time in their life years later?
NEVER going to play in the NBA I don't care how motivated he gets...dosen't have the game.
Probably hated school and these guys get a lifetime scholarship at least Cal said so the other night. Doubt if he ever does that.
when briscoe gets motivated he usually texts butters to let him know about it.
Can't believe it ? Did you watch him shoot in games here at Kentucky ? He was foolish to leave early.
Following his collegiate career, the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) drafted Givens with the 16th overall pick in the 1978 NBA draft. He played two years for the Hawks, scoring 1,040 points in 156 games (6.7 ppg).
I would say the 16th pick in the draft was slightly better than the pick for Briscoe.

I hate to even post this because I have no dog in this fight, but I did read that he was shooting 500 to 600 shots a day. Are you with him every day to know that he doesn't want to work on his shot? This is the same context that smooth posted.
You can't believe he didn't get drafted?
Huh? Are you a relative or a meth addict?
He's not anything more than a decent college player.
Should have been motivated sometime in the last 20 years to learn how to shoot.
