I always said he was Kyrie Irving. So he went 1 as well right?I think he could be the next Iverson

Again they aren’t at their peak, I think we have 1 maybe 2 guys who would play right now in the NBA. Others who may develop but getting drafted and being an impact player are different. I agree we should have been better especially on defense though. Really if we didn’t have 3 mental breakdowns we had a pretty solid year. Health also caused 2 losses.He may not go #1..but the fact that we have a guy in talks for the #1 pick…and then a potential top 5 pick in Sheppard..and then a couple more first rounders..and then a couple more second rounders…and we couldn’t win the sec…makes me sad. And if we don’t make a run in the post season. It will be sad….
Exactly he just won’t live in ultra luxury like he did while he played. Plus I’m sure he has a number of very rich friends who would help him if he needed it plus he always has autographs and memorabilia to sell.Pretty sure he’s set up with a nice retirement deal that kicks in before too long. Somebody had something deferred for him on his Reebok deal. Plus he should be getting max NBA pension which I think is around $250k/year. He’ll be alright.
Euros have long shed the NBA bust label. They produce legit prospects now.Wemby is doing okay
And if we’re really being honest, it’s no secret that the Euros have Americans looking over their shoulders.Euros have long shed the NBA bust label. They produce legit prospects now.
He has elite point guard size. There are the freak point guards in Shai, Luka and Cade but those guys don't have the same explosiveness.Rob is the best talent in cbb and it isn't even close. He is elite at everything except size. He has a combination of elite skills and athleticism I'm not sure we saw before.
His shooting and passing is criminally underrated because it's (perhaps wrongfully) overshadowed by reed.
He's legitimately incredible. How will teams stop him at the next level?
The justification is Reeds record as a starter and our record with him coming off the bench. I’m sure you’ll spin it somehow, so let’s hear it??
So far only Cal and the officials can stop him.He's legitimately incredible. How will teams stop him at the next level?
Most of these clowns are a handful of people with multiple accounts. They should just be bannedYou are switching user names in the same thread now. You are a strange dude.
Obviously, the NBA doesn’t care about defense.He may not go #1..but the fact that we have a guy in talks for the #1 pick…and then a potential top 5 pick in Sheppard..and then a couple more first rounders..and then a couple more second rounders…and we couldn’t win the sec…makes me sad.

The Duke team with Zion Williamson (et al) lost in Elite 8.7-8 pros on the team. We better make a Final Four.
I don't know how or why some people are wired the way they are. Multiple accounts sounds exhausting. What a way to spend your time. Sure their family is proud of their contributions.Most of these clowns are a handful of people with multiple accounts. They should just be banned
CBS Mock drafts for all sports are never anywhere close to correct.Interesting.

2024 NBA Draft prospect rankings: Kentucky stars rise, Purdue's Zach Edey falls ahead of March Madness
Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham have played their way up the Big Board with their performances for the Wildcatswww.cbssports.com
Sounds like you just have a sad existence.
But the problem has been spotting the other team eight or so points before playing your best players . Many of us believe Cal does it strictly to or showcase Wagner and Edwards for the NBA .Dude. Sheppard couldn’t play hardly any more than he does. And that is often the case with RD due to fouls.

I will admit sticking with Edwards may have been the right thing to do particularly since he is a gym rat and has finally come along . However , it has probably cost us a number 1 seed . I believe we would only have a couple of losses had we played the best players in every game rather than showcasing his favorites .
IF having Edwards and Wagner develop is worth throwing away a one seed for a 3 to five seed then it was smart . However , if we don’t make a final four it was a mistake and very selfish to do that to Reed and Dilly in the only year they will ever be able to play for a national championship .
Lol, if I am Erin, I need to get with my pops and my sure I am accounted for in Dad's will!How ya been Erin?
I wish you'd retire that particular insult.Sounds like you just have a sad existence.
Yes! Sad, pathetic people should be told they are so they can improve themselves. Their sadness is draining for everyone else. They need to do better.I wish you'd retire that particular insult.
Between health issues, poverty, and recent deaths of loved ones you can bet your ass plenty of us do have sad existences and since most of us don't know each other you might be saying that to somebody that truly does have a miserable and sad existence. If you knew that was the case of the person you were addressing, would you still say it?
I get that Cal is playing the long game with those guys But if it doesn’t work he’s going to look like an idiot for not fully giving the reigns to Reed & Rob.Actually, it might turn out to be genius.
What if Edwards and Wagner continue improving, and all the sudden we have 4 guards who are firing on all cylinders, each of them likely being drafted in the top20.
I was hard on Cal for doing it this way, and there's still a ways to go before the above comes to fruition. But what if that was kind of his plan: He knows he has Shep and Dilly, but if he can get Edwards and DJ going, then Kentucky all the sudden has a real chance to win the title. Where as a team with just Dilly and Reed, probably peaks around an Elite8, maybe a F4.
Either way, it does seem his decision to stay with DJ and Edwards is starting to pay off.
Thanks for answering my question. I was giving you more credit than I should have; you are as terrible a person as your posts make you appear.Yes! Sad, pathetic people should be told they are so they can improve themselves. Their sadness is draining for everyone else. They need to do better.
And I am okay with that.Thanks for answering my question. I was giving you more credit than I should have; you are as terrible a person as your posts make you appear.
At least you're not dishonest about it. I like to give credit where it is due and I respect your honesty.And I am okay with that.
Honestly, I would never ridicule someone for being sad about death or illness or something along those lines, but being sad because your sports team lost is just stupid.At least you're not dishonest about it. I like to give credit where it is due and I respect your honesty.
Star FRESHMAN that are playing 22yo grown men. I don’t expect to win big. Seriously, I don’t. Stop playing 5 freshman that can’t guard a lamppost. We need 3 upperclassmen an 2 stud freshman at most. No other team does what we do. No one. Freshman could compete 10 years ago. Not Now. Look at even Reed Sheppard. Hands quick as a cat but doesn’t understand defense AT ALL. it’s not taught in AAU. Dilly is a great offensive John wall quick cat. He couldn’t bench press 150 lbs. strength and conditioning is also not an AAU priority. We will never compete for another tile with freshman I believe. They are not developed enough upon arrival for their 6 months here to compete.Wow..I didn’t realize I would be insulted for being upset if my team full of stars doesn’t win big..
The last four games Reed has played 28, 34, 35, and 32 minutes. Even if he starts he isn’t playing any more than that.Dude. Sheppard couldn’t play hardly any more than he does. And that is often the case with RD due to fouls.
I’m not sure psychopaths deserve credit for embracing their sick nature.At least you're not dishonest about it. I like to give credit where it is due and I respect your honesty.

Yeah benching those two is one of the single dumbest head coaching decisions in the history of coaching. Anyone who fell for his weak excuses or made excuses for this nonsense needs to have their head examined.The coddling of Wagner and Edwards is going to look really stupid on our part in a few years. So many bought it, but it’s mind boggling that a coach would have Reed and Dilly coming off a bench. 1 of them in certain type of situation okay. Both of them for the entire year is just wow. If anyone actually bought the BS that it’s actually a smarter thing to do, I hope you’re smarter in your personal life than you are with basketball coach speak. Just thinkin out loud.
Wow.
In their defense, fandom can make you think some stupid things, been there. But that might have been Calipari’s best bs salesman act I’ve ever seen in my life if I think about it. I mean for real a few still believe it’s a smart thing to do🤣.
That Cal, you know he gets a kick out of it too.
