Clarke can play any position because he's just that good that's what makes him so scary for defenses
Prep coach: John Wall couldn't score like Terrence Clarke

And this is likely why Cal refuses to hoist more than 18-20 3s in a game. Even worse, it seems like he gets extra strict on it come tournament time. I think the ghosts from that game still haunt him to this day.
He was, but he wasn't the only one, and it wasn't hard to figure it out. You weren't going to beat UK in 2010 by playing man. Your only shot at beating them was to play zone and hope they didn't make outside shots. Pretty much every team, down the stretch at least, played UK zone. Everybody knew that was the only option. A couple of times it worked, but most of the time it didn't.
But in the end, it wasn't even really the zone that killed them. They started taking long range jumpers on fast breaks. They probably thought they weren't going to miss them all, and they were right, but they missed enough.
This isn't a new take but John Wall was the most important signing in UK history.
Yes, him being a stud point guard and future #1 pick is a big part of that, but it goes so much deeper. Us hiring Calipari off the heels of BCG and an NIT season gave us hope, but the world didn't fully buy in to UK being back until John Wall showed up.
The swagger that Wall carried to go along with his electrifying game made him the perfect one man icon for the program. Before John Wall, high school players viewed Kentucky as a school that was a boring, traditional powerhouse and not much more. Wall turned Kentucky into THE place to play college basketball pretty much overnight.

mkg was better at finishing on a break. wall created breaks from nothing by himself. even after made baskets. whole different stratosphere. on a 3 on 2 you give it to mkg on one wing and yeah he’s going to complete the play. wall didn’t require to be on a break, he could force one by himself. so what about my statement that he’s arguably the best one man fast break isn’t true, again?
Wow. Nostradamus over here...
No doubt. We don’t play that style anymore. Wall brought us out of boring, Cal has us back there though.
You mean lack of coaching
Welp, I was high on him too. Didnt know he was all about himself
These bumped threads are funny to go back and read . I won’t clown anyone though I know I have been wrong in some of these threads .
I must have slept thru the season because I didn’t see anyone who looked like JW out there.
Not many if anyone could have saw this kind of season coming .
I knew nothing about Clarke but honestly BJ Boston was the biggest miss of my life.
I honestly still cannot believe how bad he was. He was not the same player at UK that I watched in high school. Maybe he got the yips or something. Truly...cannot figure it out.

Truth John Wall scored an Nba contract on playing on the hardwood, TC gets one for riding the pine.
It was more like Jordan and Pippen.
Rather than doing that why not learn not to shoot your mouth off about something that hasn't happened yet.
