Pick one player from UK history you’d loved to have thrown on the court last night

[simnalecho]

Chuck Hayes, and you run everything thru him. He just made everybody better

 

[d2atTech]

I nominate Jamal Magliore. His attitude that “The post is MINE, enter at risk of life and limb” would have been the perfect antidote for UT’s rebounding dominance.

Chuck hayes. I guarantee we wouldn't have lost with Hayes and butler

 

[CincinnatiWildcat]

Shaeden Sharpe, he would have loosened up the rims dunking during warm ups. Also he is the one player who it would make sense to litterally throw onto the court, although It would probably be me more dropping him on the court.

 

[storm1507]

A little before my time....but Dan Issel. I did get to see him in the pros....real deal.

 

[MrHotDice]

Mashburn is the answer for any scenario.
He could get rebounds. He would nail it from three. He would go into lane and be unstoppable. He would take over when things were bogging down.

bingo

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Jaxson Robinson would have been nice.

Mashburn

 

[Kuhldaddy]

Oscar or Chuck Hayes cuz they owned the boards which eliminated our fast break Too tough to score against them in the half court.

 

[notelvis]

We looked completely out of sorts. For a bucket and momentum shift and to get the guys on the same page, senior Darius Miller.

Any of the superstars of the past are the obvious answer, so I'll give a different answer. Loved Miller when he was here. Seemed to always get in the lane and make a three when we needed it.

Darius Miller was the player I thought of first too. Such a calming presence his senior year. It seemed that any offensive possession in which he got a touch was a more successful trip downcourt.

 

[GoCatsGo!!]

1986 Kenny Walker

 

[PoppawCat]

Larry Stamper.....He took no crap, he set a tone to play your hardest in every way.....especially when you're down. He was one class tough as nails player who led by example. And when he had to be HE WAS THE ENFORCER. He was like the LONE RANGER! I have never seen a Ky. team that would not have been better if they had Larry Stamper.

 

[Jamal Sunburn]

Any of them.

 

[JwUKFan11]

MKG

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Mashburn

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Anthony Davis

 

[FirewithFire]

Monster Mash is the answer. The guy gives you every single thing this team was missing. Tennessee would have had no answers for him.

 

[wkycatfan]

We needed rebounds so bad. Chuck Hayes.

 

[kybloo92]

Davis would be my first pick, especially the way Tennessee was getting anything they wanted inside. Also think Terrence Jones at his best stretching the floor and presence in the front court is an intriguing player. Always enamored by his skillset.

 

[blue cincy]

Big Dan Issel. Man was a rebounding machine and could score and take care of business down low.

 

[jpuk974]

Oscar, for his rebounding.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

AD, if for only rebounds and blocks. He would have sent that midgets stuff to outer space each time.

 

[rick64]

Boogie or AD.

 

[007Arb]

Issel, Issel, and Issel. Then Cotton Nash.

 

[I-Move-Like-The-Pope]

Anthony Davis is the only right answer. Elite defense and shot blocking. Also a really good rebounder. Able to hit the 3, especially in Pope's offense.

 

[WallMashKyBall]

Mashburn is the answer for any scenario.
He could get rebounds. He would nail it from three. He would go into lane and be unstoppable. He would take over when things were bogging down.

Yep, 100%. Masburn always played like 3 players, and some of our guys didn't show up, so we needed somebody like him.

 

[clifm]

I nominate Jamal Magliore. His attitude that “The post is MINE, enter at risk of life and limb” would have been the perfect antidote for UT’s rebounding dominance.

Kenny "Sky" Walker

 

[rivercatinfl]

Tay Prince and his long 3's would have come in handy

 

[stereonut]

Might as well take the best Cat ever.

Dan Issel.

 

[UKAlum84]

Prince or what about Jodie Meeks?
