I'm hoping our core looks like this:
Edwards will prob play the 4 at UK, especially with the guards that are being stacked up for next year. Either way they are gonna need another PF, not sure we get another year of Collins.
Collins is going to have a hard time making the jump that he's expecting. He's just so weak, and I'm not sure one offseason will change that. I see his ceiling this year at around 9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks off the bench. I'm not sure that translates to a post-sophomore year departure, and if it doesn't, I hope he's mature enough to keep at it for a third year at Kentucky.
Yeah...I agree on Collins just isn't likely to pop on NBA draft boards.
Edwards is more guard than forward with his skill set. He is more of a 2/3 than a 3/4. He is not real muscular either. Unless he bulks up a bunch, I don’t see him at the 4 for us, especially if Collins returns.
That’s how I see it working out as well. Way to early to tell, but that seems to be the direction Cal is planning on heading.
The only way I see UK getting Bradshaw is in this scenario. And that stretch 4 would be him. I’ve heard good things about Bradshaw’s outside shot and those two could be a defensive twin towers without clogging the paint on offense.
A year with Antigua will really help UKO.
Should be. 20-21 did not count toward anyone’s eligibility, the way I understand it.
Ugo couldn't get in over Ware last season but will turn into AD next season.
Literally no one said he would turn into Anthony Davis or anything close to it. Why are you always so dishonest? LOL at acting like players can’t improve, dude reclassified and enrolled a year early and you think he’s gonna remain the same player? The only thing that will remain is how clueless you are.
I'm just glad Cal played him enough last season to prepare him for a starting role this season.Oh well.
When they can’t defend their ignorance, they try to deflect by calling you another poster every single time. I feel like it would be easier to not make moronic posts that you can’t defend instead having to deflect when called on it. Ugo can and likely will see great improvement from what should have been his HS senior year.
Because Cal prepared him so well last season with hardly any playing time?
That was a huge blunder, Cal had no business playing Ware over him imo. Developing Ugo to be serviceable should have been a priority. He never really got a real shot.
Well no, Cal didn’t prepare him last year. I’m not sure what that has to do with him improving this year? You think because Cal messed up last year that it’s not possible for him to improve this year? Where do y’all get this stuff from?
Had nothing to do with performance. UKO outperformed (by a lot) Ware in Nov when Oscar was out or limited. But Cal was loyal to the JR Ware.
But is he ready to be a starter on this years team?That's the question and the starters around him are all freshmen so the pressure is on.
It's obvious he's not ready to be a starter right now but Cal has screwed the pooch in the portal so he will have to be.If Oscar leaves it's going to be rough.
Let's look at your statement factually (over the past 6 years).
I disagree with that statement. How is he obviously not ready, but he FR are obviously ready?
A total of 17 points from the 4 and 5 positions is a depressing thought for next sreason.
I still have nightmares about the 2017 season where we got 17 points a game out of Bam and Wenyen. Looks like we’re gonna be stuck relying on scoring from our elite backcourt again. Ugh!
It's a good thing our freshmen always work out and become studs!
The point is it could go either way but you have already declared RD and DW an elite backcourt without ever seeing them play against college comp.
So do you think it’s more likely or less likely that they will be elite with all the info you know about them? I’m mean you’re free to be a glass half empty kinda guy, I just disagree based on what I have seen from them and their consensus status of being elite recruits.
We also have Edwards who will be our first or second leading scorer and will be elite.
Our PF/4-C/5 spots won't be our offensive strength, UNLESS we add/return someone really good who doesn't like his draft prospects. But they won't hurt us there like Ware, or Montgomery or Lee.
