If you could add one more player to the team what position and type of player would you add?
I'm asking because I honestly don't know the biggest need.

One more piece to this team?

Probably a third center/project type. Just in case Williams or Garrison goes down with an injury. Carr could probably moonlight as a center, but I like him as a stretch 4.
I've never seen a single one of these players play. And if I was watching a game they were in, I certainly would've had no reason to pay attention to their game. So if I don't know what we have, there's no way I can comment on what we need.

One absolute sure fire can’t miss lottery pick. We don’t need 5 of them we just need at least 1.

Give me a Big like Bundalo or Reibe who can make a difference making 3’s or passing from the pick-n-roll, but also could stick around for year 2/3.
I'd add another point guard, one that was a little more offense oriented. Butler is going to be a fantastic leader and defender, but would love to add a little more distribution and shooting to the position.

So far the answers are (in no particular order)
1. Offensive point guard
2. Sure fire lottery pick
3. Backup center
4. Forward with the ability to step out and pass

I vote for a cheerleader looking babe to walk the sidelines with Coach Pope carrying dry towels and his preferred choice of beverages.
You don't need a PhD in sports science to know that we need another younger big. Two of ours are super seniors – gone next year. One is an undersized senior – possibly gone next year and more situational than a workhorse. The last is a former McD AA soph who could bolt for the NBA next year.I've never seen a single one of these players play.

I would be ecstatic with another F/C.
Jeremiah Fears.
Multiyear point guard who already loves Kentucky. Veteran high-level point guards are more necessary than any other position. He would become that guy for us over the course of 3 or 4 years. He's not a OAD.
We would have multiyear returners at every position except power forward:
Fears (PG)
Perry (SG)
Chandler (SG/SF)
Noah (SF)
Oweh (SG/SF)
Garrison (C)

Yeah, a "project" big - maybe a reclass freshman or foreign guy - who doesn't expect much PT 1st year would be my pick.
Peterson or a foreign player, more than likely the latter. I think it because it will be hard to get a top reclass this early in his roster build, but he is determined to fill out the roster anyway.
I agree with you but I think only the last one you mentioned has any eligibility left after this year barring a redshirt.
Yeah, I said possibly for Almonor because I don't know what the rules are anymore. Maybe he'll stick around for another 5 years, maybe not. 🤷♂️
A foreign kid with potential. I don't care what position he plays, I just want to get a pipeline for talent overseas.
Four is our least deep position so I’d lean that way. Value adds are rebounding, since neither Carr nor Almonor bring us a lot of that, and perimeter shooting, both so the new guy isn’t redundant with our centers and so our centers’ lack of perimeter shooting (possibly not terrible with Garrison but still at best a question mark) can’t be used against us too bad when Carr’s sitting. Not holding my breath for a big, glass-cleaning, mobile perimeter sniper to be still twiddling his thumbs this late in the summer but since you asked.
It may be that that 13th position may not get filled if the staff does not fine a player that is a fit for this team.
I think it will be difficult to find a player that contribute significantly in the coming season. We have 10 players who have solid college experience, they all played major roles for their previous teams. Perry and Noah could become useful be late in the year. If a "project" kid surfaced(most likely a big) then by all means take him.
Sorting out the top 8 or 9 guys off the current team will be no small coaching task. I doubt there are promised minutes out there(unlike previous seasons) Really looking forward to this year even if it only nets 16 or 17 wins. My eternal optimistic outlook on UK basketball says we will be north of 20 wins. Just get to football season and Let's f^(&!^@ go!!!
