Is Dilly..

[Mike-D]

better than DJ? He seems to impact the game more.

He's better at scoring, and can score in bunches. Gives up too easily on defense, and makes some errant passes. You need both of these dudes. I don't ever want Dilly bringing the ball up the court.

There’s a lot of calsplaining going on with regard to the Roles of the guards and their position on the roster. I realize that Calipari has to walk a tight rope because of recruiting. Today recruiting is as fickle as it’s ever been and it’s true you have to consider the next roster by how you use the current one. But that doesn’t mean that Sheppard really shouldn’t be starting, or that there’s some mystical situation with Wagner and he’s more important to the team than Dillingham.

We’re starting who we’re starting because Calipari is always recruiting. Whatother coaches usually do is manipulate what they have to best suit the interests of the team. They deal with what comes later, to a degree.

Calipari puts recruiting first and that’s the only reason Sheppard and Dillingham aren’t starting over Wagner and Edwards.

Frankly, I believe it’s possible every single coach in America is starting Sheppard and Dillingham. Now maybe this method will work, I’m just saying if we’re being honest the rotations as it stands are 100% about recruiting and draft positions. There is never a logical situation where your best player shouldn’t touch the floor until the first TV timeout save for recruiting promises or fears to do with who they’d be starting over.

The winning rotation for Kentucky is obvious and always has been. Sheppard, Dilly, Reeves, Adou, Bradshaw. If we win a title this is the rotation that needs the bull of minutes on the floor.

Tre brings more to the start than Bradshaw as of now at least.

That’s the one area I just am not willing to part from. I think for UK to be where we need to be Bradshaw has to turn into a beast and paired with Adou as the enforcer. I prefer Tre in situational roles with different lineups, but i realize this is the hope and not necessary where the team is as of now.
