It’s been a long time

Ty Ty couldn't hold Wagner's jock, I'll give you Maxey and IQ but I believe Wagner will be better. Think Dearron Fox type skills

Agreed, he's on par with Maxey for the best guard we've had in the past 5 years. Ty Ty and Wallace behind Wagner(thus far).

Cal's saying all the right things, so far. I hope he lets Dilly cook and play through his mistakes early on and not captain-hook him every bad shot or turnover. He's probably going to do some stupid shit occasionally but he's so dynamic with the ball in his hands. It looked like it had it on a yo-yo.

I have a feeling Dillingham is going to be my favorite player this year! His handles are insane.

3 years but 4 seasons

No it's been 3 seasons
IQ played in 19-20
20-21
21_22
22-23
That's 3 seasons

For a freshman he's looking the part. IQ was great but it took a year n a half to start getting there.
This team will be different because of young studs that can handle the ball. We haven't had that. Plain n simple

4 years is a long time especially when 2 out of those 4 have been with Wheeler. People can have their opinions but I think he made UK basketball worse

Was looking back at our guards from last year....Wheeler, Reeves and Frederick. Two out of three stunk.

IDK, Tyty, Maxey and IQ were pretty good guards. It wasn't that long ago that they played in UK blue.

Tyty was good, but wasn't great a breaking down his man. Maxey could to a degree and so could Quickley. But not like this.

DJ is fast and so is Dilly. You give them one step and they're gone.

That's going to be hard as hell to guard.

I'd say we have the best back court in the in NA (minus NBA of course) TODAY.

We’ve had guards. What we ain’t had is a real stretch 4, shot blockers, and dominant wing players to go with the guards. We appear to have those things now.

Thank you Bob Huggins.....AGAIN.

I'm delighted to see so many positive comments about this team's potential. I guess the gloom and doom crowd has disappeared, at least until we lose a game. Then the sky will be falling again. Let's enjoy this!

Well, that's because people are talking potential, but many are still in wait and see mode (when the games count). These July games mean zero.

True that they mean nothing as far vas our official season and possible seeding in the NCAAT are concerned. Yep, we will be playing far tougher copetition when the regular season starts. But the ability to create, shoot, quickness, and hops are all there with this group. Much will depend on how we evolve defensively and whether we will have a legitimate rim protector, although Mitchell did have 5 blocks against Canada which is impressive against any decent athletes.
