Gilgeous-Alexander Outperforming His Ranking

[KYtotheCore]

Overlooked a little vs incoming talent. I think this kid is going to be valuable for us. Article & video.

@ulismyman should appreciate this.

I look forward to seeing how he performs against the best in the Hoop Summit game.

I'm glad he ours. Let's reload for 2017-18.

Excited to see what kind of player he can be in 2-3 years. Does not look like an instant impact guy.

I think he's an impact guy next year. The bar is not set that high because he's not far behind Quade skill wise.

I'm really eager to see this. Will give us a better idea.

Green and Diablo should be the starters at guard. If I have to guess now, Vanderbilt will start at the other wing position. Alexander is probably in line to be the 1st guard off our bench. Whether that makes him an impact guy is a matter of definitions. But Alexander, while a good player, is presently way behind Quade Green skillwise. I have seen both play.

I, for one, don't think being put into the game makes you an impact player.

I agree that he is substantially behind from what I've seen on the videos.

Didn't realize the Devil himself(Diablo) was already penciled in as a starter next season. He better STAY "on fire" the entire year!! Cal will go ANYWHERE to get ANY player!! No wonder the NCAA and media are constantly against UK.

IF we can get say 3 players from the incoming class to stay for a 2nd year we will be in poll position to cut em down with the studs who will be coming in the following class

No sure but it seems like it. He averaged 20.4, 4.2, and 4.8 and it calls him a "triple double threat."

That's a little homer-ish. That's well rounded, not "a triple double threat."

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Green, Alexander, Washington, Tai, maybe Mark Smith (if UK lands him), and perhaps SKJ and or Richards back in '18-19 would be great. Would love to have some high level retention more than once every four years or so.

The only thing I saw was it looked like he carried the ball A LOT....not sure if he can get away with it or not once here

I'll go out on a limb and say he never gets a triple double in college.
