KSR post game: Comment about Brad...

You're right, my bad. I thought he played a year, but he was a Grad Asst.
I think Cal has to leave a couple of open scholarships when he doesn't have any idea who may leave this year. Diallo is probably gone for sure. I think Shai will go too, but after that it is anyone's guess!
Brad will more that likely get less playing time next year than this year!
Baker is hurt, Green is hurt, Diallo was in foul trouble, Gilgeous-Alexander was on the floor...if you expect your 5th guard to be a 5 star, you really need to keep your opinion to yourself because it's not worth much. I'm glad Brad was there to give us some minutes when we needed them. Geez, we have some ignorant fans.
Anyone that made that statement either is blind or has serious intelligence problems
Playing time is Earned. Sometimes you gotta take those hard charges.
Mike Krzyzewski would have immediately pulled him and chewed him out for disgracing the flop.
He's good at floppingPlaying time is Earned. Sometimes you gotta take those hard charges.
He has watched too many Duke Movies.Playing time is Earned. Sometimes you gotta take those hard charges.
Since Polson has been mentioned in this thread, I pulled up his ESPN page and he is listed as a Center LOL

No. Nice kid. He couldn’t guard me. Was it a UL fan or his mom pretending to be a man?
Brad gave us 2-3 decent minutes. He was fine. Seems a bit jittery shooting, but that’s to be expected.
I'm sorry, but it's silly to compare Brad to even someone like Josh Carrier.
As disappointing as he was, Carrier at least was a legit D1 prospect. He was the Kentucky Mr. Basketball, a UK scholarship player, and he could've had scholarships at other schools if he'd not gone to UK.
Brad, on the other hand, is not in any way a legit D1 player, and has shown NO discernible skill for this level at all--he misses every shot he attempts (I don't care about unguarded warmups), has no apparent ballhandling skills (does he ever dribble the ball more than once at a time?), no noteworthy passing skills, can't defend, can't run, can't jump, can't do anything worthwhile that I've noticed.
If he didn't go to UK, Carrier still would've been a decent mid-major player at some lower tier D1 program. But if his last name wasn't Calipari, Brad would likely be at the NAIA level or just another frat boy playing intramurals.

Johnny David was on the bench. At least he can handle the ball and run the floor, neither of which Brad can do.

You are missing my point. I was only comparing during warmups, before games. If you have gone to games and watch them warm up Brad hardly ever misses. I also remember Carrier would be them same way. That's all I was saying. So your response has nothing to do with what I was trying to say.
Are people really trying to compare Saul and Brads situations?
I was no Saul fan at all, but he was a "decent" basketball player and would be possibly the best on ball defender on this team. I still think he would have been best suited in another uniform though, for him and us.
Brad isn't any better than an average high school player, but it's kept his dad here so I'm cool with it.

I can't1 believe I'm talking about Saul. The difference is Cal accepted Brad as a walk-on and is paying his way. Tubby had Saul on Scholarship 4 years and could and should and have paid his way, he had the money. Brad is very short but he filled in fine. We only had 2 guards and he just played a couple of minutes.
I can’t imagine growing up as the son of John Calipari. That has to be tough on some levels.
My father was a wife beating drunk, so it didn’t take much for me to be better than him, but no matter what Brad does, he’s always going to be Cals son.

Most overrated shooter since Josh Carrier. Kid must fill it up in practice because he can't finish his signature in game action.
Huh? we have what 11 on schollies - Tai, JV , Green, Baker, Shai,PJ , Diallo, Knox , SKJ , Gabriel, Richards . YOu always one to keep one schollie open so at most we could have one more guy. A very thin thing to complain about . We have a ton of depth when healthly .
You know how hard it is to come in cold and have the whole crowd yelling at you to shoot? He is the best shooter I have ever seen at UK in warm ups and in drills. But to be expected to do that , especially since he lacks the altheticism needed to get open is beyond silly. Carrier was a top 100 recruit. Calipari was a D2 recruit who came to play for his dad- apples and oranges.
I don't think Brads minute or two cost us the game, did it? Obviously, Cal tossed him in there because he had to. He wasn't trying to develop the kid for an end of year run. Calm down peeps.
I agree except for wanting a KY player on the roster. I can't seem to find one reason I should care where someone is from as long as they can play ball.
It is silly to even discuss if the kid deserves to be on the court based on basketball reasons. However IMO Cal has earned the right to have his son on the team. That is a special time they can share. In no way has Brad himself earned being on the UK basketball team. It was indeed given to him. But Dad has earned it.
I agree with you. Who cares where they come from. I was only curious as to why Brad doesn't claim Lexington.
