For the longest time I thought that was his own special brand of coach-speak, but in the last couple seasons I came to realize he really didn't know. And since he decided it wasn't important to scout the opponents, it was always a last-minute scramble as to whether he had to pack a bag for an SEC road trip!
OMG Carr >>>>>Z. Not even close. Z is still a project.
We thought he was the next Nowitski after his breakout first game.
That game will live in UK lore forever. It had it all man, 3's, dunks, behind the back passes, everything. It had the backstory of the billboard. People were losing their shit. Now that kid is getting 6.5 mins at arkansas. Bonkers.
It really is crazy when you think about it. Putting up the billboard across from the NCAA office in Indianapolis was choice BBN magic. We even had the huge hinged-elbow Z fathead rolling in the student section. He became a phenomenon.
I agree with you. It really doesn't help that Cal has tried to make him play in the post with his back to the basket instead of letting him be the stretch 5 that he is. He did the same thing with Sarr, Mitchell and Townes.
This! Common denominator in Calipari!
