Kerr Kriisa

[K_TIME]

Call me when Perry gets back on defense after experiencing a season ending injury. Both can be good, don’t have to put down one to raise the other

I see your point...and I don't like that it does get to pitting one player vs. another.

I'll leave at this...I like Perry's growth/proven shooting acumen from HS vs. Krissa as PG rotation guy in 2025.....but both have been good pieces for UK as best they can in 2024

Sorry if I misunderstood but it really was meant as joke rather than a personal attack...but I realize I did offend you and I take responsibility for that and I am sorry.

I swear to you I wasn’t hurt a bit. These chats are awesome but they don’t show the inflection. That’s my bad. Hope we get both players back and they ball out. I’m sorry for not communicating better. It’s all family in Big Blue Nation.

I can see a scenario where Kerr’s injury is bad enough that he’s compromised in the future playing too many minutes but wants to be at UK and act as an emotional leader who can also help out in spurts. Pope pursued him for many years and it may be a situation where he just wants to learn more from the staff with the aim of potentially joining down the line. He clearly loves being at UK.

Yeah...not too excited about this...not a pure no but there are issues...

1. We need a starter level PG to pair with Acaden Lewis. And Krissa is not a starter level PG and that is easy to see. (FOr all the rah-rah stuff that people love...he was shooting 28% FG and 27%3pt....and he's not defensive dynamo)
2. What does this do to Travis Perry...who I think is perfect to get those extra minutes behind SG/PG topline guys. Perry is improving, he's got s scorer pedigree and I'd love to keep him at UK for 4 years.

So Krissa back.....does he bump Perry down (heck Perry could conceivably beat him out next year)....I don't mind as long as Pope is dead set on getting another Butler to run the team next year.

This. Someone was saying on here JJ could play some PG too if needed. Seems like a logjam already with Lewis, perry and now Kerr. And most of us agree none of those 3 should be starter.
