Harrison Twins NBA combine game thread

[crawfords corner]

Andrew is showing out right now. Leading him team very well. Getting to the hoop and drawing contact and drawing the defenders and kicking it out to a shooter(jumper).

Aaron has missed his first 3-3's though.

 

[ORCAT]

Really want the best for Aaron but I sure wish he had come back for another year at UK. Now I hope he goes on fire the rest of the way to improve his draft status.

 

[crawfords corner]

Andrew has driven the ball, or started to, and has been fouled 4 times. He's looking pretty good so far. Just tried to draw a charge though it ended up being unsuccessful. I like his play so far.

It's also a shame this Joe Young kid was on the west coast and the country didn't get to see him a lot. Don't think he's a first rounder, but he's an exciting offensive player.

Rockin' Under Armour shoes....

 

[crawfords corner]

Pat Connaughton just did a max vertical leap of 44 inches. Best at the combine so far. Who'd a thunk it.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Honestly, Aaron should switch to point. There's nothing special about a 6'5" guard who has streaky shooting. But there is a use for a 6'5" point. Now that they won't be playing together, what is the reason for staying a SG?

I'd believe it, he threw down some monster dunks in the tourney. My
Gf called him whitey Cauley stein haha

 

[crawfords corner]

Drew with a killer drive and kick to a cutter for a dunk. Then a pretty step back for 2.

 

[crawfords corner]

Andrew with a rebound and hit ahead pass for an open 3 that ended up being missed. Then he passed up a 3 to make the extra pass which led to a 3. He's looked good in this combine.

I wonder if Andrew was a more flashy player how much that would help his perception.

Just got Michale Frazier to foul him while shooting a 3. Made all 3 free throws. 12 pts this game

Andrew with an awesome and-one. Drove the ball, nice spin move, then got hacked on the arm causing the ball to come loose... he tapped the ball towards the goal and it banked in. He's looking like the best player out there to me.

Unfortunately Aaron has more or less been a no show.

Christmas and Andrew were the 2 best players out there that I saw between the games. Andrew had 15 points and 5 assists. Played wll defensively too.

 

[BillionthUKFan]

They aren't really showing stats, but the guys just said Andrew has 15 points and 5 assists. The game is nearly over, but they aren't really showing coverage of it anymore.

 

[crawfords corner]

Fraschilla started out saying neither of the Harrison twins could help themselves out today. At the end he changed his tune and said he thinks he helped himself by playing so well in front of what he termed, the "decision makers".

Well done, DrewRoc5!!!

Andrew has played well the last 4 months. Looks much better than even at the beginning of the season.

 

[jameslee32]

Houston would be a good fit for Andrew backing up Beverly.

 

[*Bleedingblue*]

I said the last month and a half of the year he was a top 5 PG in the nation. Played extremely well and was the most consistent player not named Towns from that point on.

I agree that he was our 2nd best player after Townes. I know WCS got 1st team AA but in my eyes he was down the list of guys who were playing at a high level on the team.

It gets aggrevating just thinking about not winning the title with potentionally having 4-5 guys drafted in the first round. Being 38-0 was very gratifying and a spectacular year but you know us Ky fans are always looking at the top of the mountain or looking down and this year we came up just short of being on top.
Would not be surprised if Wisconsin made a trophy case dedicated to the win over us like IU did. You know they will be talking about the loss for decades like Duke beating UNLV, Or the shot.
I just wished our guys played like those draft pics they are saying they will be. Ulis played well but can only ask so much from him, the twins and Townes were playing well and that's all we had. The others just didn't come to play. ((((

Hate to say it, but I see no place in the NBA for Aaron or Dakari. Neither should have left.

Their stocks could only go down from this year. No reason to stay and the D League is a better development league than it has ever been.

 

[ManitouDan]

leaving UK for Souix Falls and Toledo just doesn't pass the smell test .

 

[ManitouDan]

Or whatever 2nd rate cities the D league plays in .

 

[ArmyWildcat81]

No reason to stay? I never understand that statement. Staying and developing in college is not a bad thing.

 

[StubbornPenny]

It totally does. Get paid (not a ton, but more than nothin), have no practice restrictions, play against better competition, and be coached by NBA guys to play an NBA game. People don't realize how different college and the pros are.

The only argument to stay in college is for "the college experience" and honestly, he can come back anytime and get that. His time to make it as a pro athlete, though, is limited.

 

[CGblue]

A full ride at UK and playing for the Cats for another season is worth more than the 40k the d-league pays. And I've watched some d-league games, not very good. Unless those two hated college they may have made a mistake.

 

[WitnessGreatness]

Playing in the D League is a better talent developer than playing in college

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Just saw that Pat Connaughton had the highest vertical at the combine.
