If the rim doesn't block that Edwards dunk attempt...

Wow; kid came in with huge expectations and if you had not posted this, I totally forgot about him.
Not saying he was a flop but like many others, had talent for the NBA but not enough to compete for a big role. Who knows, in two years he may be gone and playing overseas.
Like it was said, its not whether you have NBA talent, it is more can you get that 2nd contract.

Never forget
 
A while back I said it wouldn't be the worst idea to throw like $20 bucks on Edward's winning ROY for the 76ers, just at the smallest chance a highly touted recruit figures it out in the NBA. You'd win like $5,000 to $10,000

.. so I basically just donated $20 to Vegas, more or less lol.

Poythress underachieved here, but stayed and improved. He was an important cog in our team that made the finals.

I'll never forget his D on Pushcock in the Loserville game. Priceless.

Edwards was predicted to be the #1 pick before the season started.

Dang I thought that was closer to the end of that game. Still 11 mins left when it happened. I was on a Carnival Cruise that night and when that play happened I told my wife we were 100% losing and almost stopped watching. Missing out on cruise fun to watch that wasn't worth it. Worst 2 hours of the cruise.

Or that nasty dunk on Dekkar in the Wisconsin game for an and 1.

There’s 11 minutes left and in just that little clip at the bench. It looks like we’re already defeated.
 
If we are being honest he probably made a poor decision coming to Kentucky. It was down to us and St. Johns if I remember correctly
Committed before Ulis had ever played a game for UK plus Murray hadn't reclassed yet and wasn't on the radar..
Fox and Monk came the next year.
AB played with 4 of the best guards ever to play at UK and definitely sacrificed his game for the team.

I think it’s OK to say that.

The dude was once being widely projected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft and was supposed to be our star. Instead, he ended up being barely playable and went undrafted.

If you can’t call that guy a flop …at least at the college level …then they might as well get rid of the word.

Especially in this NIL era .

Probably, but you can't deny, that was a easy choice. UK had just come off 4 final fours and a title. And had Wall and Knight in the league. Bledsoe too. Can't fault him for thinking he could've been the next one. He should have went to SJ's for sure. Cal failed that guy.

he may turn out to be a player, but @ UK , he was basically a flop
He came in with so much notoriety, but never came close to living up to it
again, it could be the lack of coaching he received too
From College freshman to 2nd year NBA player a lot of maturing both physically abd mentally takes place. It’s too bad that under Cal we never got to see that happen at UK. Now, with NIL and portal, it will again be hard to keep potential stars her for more than 1-2 years. Oh, how I long for the Dan Issel, Mike Pratt kind of teams that grew up right before our eyes.
 
A real athletic small foward like a Brandon rush would’ve power dribbled at the elbow, two steps and crammed.
