Round 2 UK Basketball Draft

Good pick. I thought about him hard. I wanted to make sure I got an electric guard ASAP though. Man, after the first wave of greats, the next 20 dudes are almost interchangeable.

If you had taken Cousins, I was taking Monk with that pick. A UK version Wall-Monk backcourt would probably be the most entertaining thing in Kentucky history.

😂 Pretty much. My biggest dilemma is deciding between old time players and modern. In the hierarchy of UK greats, there are some old-timers that should probably go before the more modern players but probably won’t get the votes because none of us saw them play.

Maybe so, but I honestly believe the average player since 1970 or so is way better than the 40’s and 50’s versions. Not to mention the game has changed so much I believe the modern guys have an edge there as well. I can only pick the guys I’ve seen or know a lot about, there isn’t even much film to go and see the Groza’s and such play.
