Dwight was faster with the ball and a defender hanging onto his shirt tail! I've never seen any BB player faster at any program at any level.
Fox was the quickest point guard I seen play for Kentucky
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
I had seen John Wall before Fox came around. Never seen like anybody like Wall before he came to UK.
Both Fox and Wall were crazy fast and explosive. Fox gets the slight edge at changing speeds and the timing thereof, which is even more dangerous.
Well Billy Clyde will agree with you on that! He probably wouldn’t even verbally abuse you or throw basketballs at you Hunter 😂. BCG was always talking bout how Porter gave such great effort and was doing a great job… even if he couldn’t hit the rim with the ball and air balled 4 3s per game he must been running fast as hell on them suicides.. prob 2nd fastest on the team only behind Mark Coury.
I have seen every player in a KY Basketball uniform since the mid 50s. Fastest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,there were a ton of them,,,,,,,,,,,the fastest I have ever seen was Dwight Anderson easily. End line to end line or side to side the FASTEST. Someone refered to the Notre Dame KY game and how Dwight took over. He did the same thing in a KY Kansas game as well. Truth is I never so another player that could do the things he could do.
If you are talking about Dwight Anderson, he could play three positions at a high level even though he sometimes played alongside UK’s All-American PG Kyle Macy. And he totally flustered Kansas’s All-American PG Darnell Valentine when matched up or switched on him. And although Cliff Hawkins was a combo guard, he usually played PG. ?
Wall and fox are both reasonable answers. I think people forget how insanely fast Rondo was, mostly due to style of play. He would have been incredible playing for Cal.
Wall's coast to coast highlight reel dunk against UNC will forever be one of those "moments" - it signaled UK was back and Wall was going to dominate college basketball.
But Fox, IMO, was as fast if not a tad faster w/ the ball in the open floor.
Dicky Beal and Leroy "Baby Magic" Bird might both be a little quicker that those two. Not faster but quicker.
Wall was very very fast but his magic was not to run down the court quickly. His magic was to run down the court quickly and turn two-to-four elite defenders already in position into crying children. And at that I've never seen anybody better, college or NBA.
Anderson could take over a game with his speed. He always beat centers down court that would leave early on missed shots, get the rebound, sprint down court and make a uncontested layup
