Flash Forward 5 Years

[thedahc]

Let's flash forward 5 years and see what you think will be true of the players from the upcoming 2023 Kentucky team and why.

Who will be the player that is better in the NBA than you thought (Shai, Booker, Randle, etc.)?

Who will you reminisce on most from their highlights from their time at UK (Monk, Wall, Harrison, etc.)?

Who will have been the most impactful in their full time at UK (Ulis, Oscar, Delk, etc.)

Who will be the most pleasant surprise in either their growth or initial performance (Herro, Jorts, Quickley, etc.)?

Not sure how you say who is going to surprise you ... isn't that the nature of being surprised? I'll go with Bradshaw, because I think he's a little overrated. So if he ends up really good, he'll be better than I thought.

Probably Edwards, none of these guys look like highlight machines to me though. Dillingham is the flashiest.

Sheppard (giving him the multi year advantage)

Bradshaw will be the better NBA player than here, Edwards will be the best college players, Wagner and Dilly will be the most improved on the team. Sheppard will be the most valuable for multiple seasons.

All the players will be better once they leave KY. Happens every year, except for a few guys that have sucked wherever they play after or while here.

How about Fast Foward? The Flash is not walking thru that door!
Time to add this one to the list.

kwilt has been interesting since he returned, I guess the writers decided to go a different direction with his character

Sort of like Jason Tatum is better than he was at Duke, Joel Embiid is better than he was at Kansas, Donovan Mitchell is better than he was at Louisville, Jaylen Brown is better than he was at Cal...Guys tend to get better between ages 20 and, say 28...

Season 23 is getting good.

Seems like he's setting up a heel turn. Will be interesting to see which direction this goes.

Tatum surprised me how good of a player he has become. I’m glad though since I’m a Celtics fan lol

We’ll have three more NCAA game victories minimum. Calipari is a *god.

Isn’t that how it should be?

Players get better every year. Jokic was a 2nd round pick. You think he hasn’t gotten better?

Askew is better as well.
