Briscoe will show out at the nba combine.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
Briscoe would take that in a heart beat. 17 years and $100 million in the league would be great.
Exactly why I said he should really hope for that...not someone you'd hear a player aspire to be, but it'd be a good basketball career.
UK needs guards that aren't incoming freshmen. Briscoe could have given us some much needed leadership.
He doesn't have a position at the next level.
1. He can't be a shooting guard because he's an atrocious shooter.
2. He can't be a point guard because he's not a great ball handler, he's not fast or quick, and isn't particularly good at making decisions.
3. He's really good at getting to the basket, but at 6'3, I'm not sure that's going to work well in the NBA.
He's a pretty good college player, and that's really a compliment, but that's about as good as it's going to get IMO.

I loved having Briscoe on our team, even if he frustrated me at times for such things as stepping on the end line numerous times. He played hard and I felt he gave UK all he had all the time. I truly wished he had come back for at least one more season and I do hope he has success at the next level. Having said all that, I am one who feels he has a very low chance to make it in the NBA with what we've seen of him the past two seasons. Much of his shortcomings for a professional career have already been mentioned above so no need to repeat. I wish him the best and hope he proves many of us wrong.
Briscoe was pressing in January - early February, but then he took a step back and became a facilitator for others, defended and rebounded for us. Gave us a chance to be great, bet he wish he had that last defensive play back vs Maye...one stop way from #9 we had them in OT.
He'll get paid to play somewhere. He's better than Andrew who's getting paid by Memphis. Just needs to drop 6-8 pounds and work on that J. Likely a late 2nd and D league path for him...not everyone is willing to go over seas for more $ and less a chance at their NBA dream.

I see no reason to ever put Briscoe's name in the same sentence with Kidd (10x All Star, 9X all defense, 2 gold medals, NBA champ, #2 all time assist and steals leader in NBA, 7th in 3pt makes, 3rd all time triple doubles, ROY, 35% career 3pt shooter with 1 yr at 46%, in college he was a 1st team AA) or Rondo (NBA Champ, triple double machine and great defender), even with qualifying statements.
Andrew took a lot of heat but he was a 37% shooter from 3 and 78% FT.
IB was 23% and 55%...
Both had exact same TO/Assist stats.
AH is now listed at 6'6 officially, I would be shocked if IB comes close to the 6'3.
IB was a warrior but the kid lacks skills to play in the NBA.
He didn't run pg for us very well in the limited opportunities he had.
I'm not a hater, I'm a realist and if I agreed with you, we would both look ill informed.
You truly have no idea what NBA talent is.
LOL, did you butcher his name on purpose?
Now I'm picturing Thornwell in a thong and that's very disturbing.
Andre Miller was a lottery pick and made the All-Rookie team too. He was a pretty good player for many years. Briscoe should be so lucky.
I really wish those old Poythress threads were around. Geniuses here were saying he was going to work in an office. ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")

I love AP but he basically got called up from the D League for a look in the last few games of the season.
Do you have him pencilled in to the 2018 All Star Game?
Maybe he will go pro in track.
You really don't know too much about this stuff, do ya?
Can't shoot, below the rim guards, thicker bodies. Briscoe should watch all the Miller tape he can get and aspire to be him.
Miller was excellent, below the rim non shooter like Briscoe. Briscoe should aspire to have a career and similar game as him, but I am not sure that style is appreciated as much in today's NBA. Sadly, I think it's Briscoes best style chance to be an NBA guy.
Weather he's 6'0" or 6'2" doesn't matter you schmuck, he's a below the rim player. Hopefully you understand what that means. He will not be in the NBA, he has nothing that an NBA team is going to waste a pick on.
You already look uninformed when you said Briscoe was six foot. Idiot.
