Cowtown and JHannibal got absolute steals w/ their 8th round picks...maybe the sort of pick that puts their team over the top

Kinda reminds me of something somewhat OT. The wife has allowed me to turn our spare bedroom into my “Kentucky Room”! Actually just finished mudding, priming and painting the walls Kentucky Blue! Have so much UK stuff to put in there. Little does she know, the attached garage and the detached garage and workshop are also gonna be my “Kentucky Rooms”! Hell, maybe even the basement as well! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

EDIT: Accrued some killer Kentucky Basketball memorabilia that was left in the house we bought by the old owners. They were diehard UK fans also!

Haha good idea. See, if you do it correctly, it’s just matching everything with the rest of the house. It’s a fashion choice.

Give me the guy who averaged 16 points per game as a junior. Three time all-SEC. A Swiss army knife on defense and offense. 6'8" combo forward who can defend all positions. A career 35% three points shooter. Shot 37% from three as a junior. An incredible rebounder for his size. Averaged 7 rebounds per game as a junior and a senior.

One of the most underrated defenders in Kentucky history. Averaged almost two blocks a game as a senior. Averaged two steals per game as a junior and a senior. He was the glue for teams during probation, and his will to win was unparalleled.

Give me Reggie Hanson.

@jrpross, OTC.

Ooo, good pick. Not who I was thinking. So I’ll take that guy. Sean Woods. I’ve got plenty of scoring guards but he was a pure facilitator. Averaged 5.3 assists in his Kentucky career.

@chroix you up dog

This guy should be a starting 4 or 5 for somebody. He had 43 double-doubles in his UK career. He is the last UK player to average 20/10 (21/12) over two seasons & one of only 4 players to ever accomplish the feat at UK, joining Dan Issel, Cotton Nash & Cliff Hagan. I’ll take Jim Andrews. @Fox2monk OTC.
