[JHannibalSmith]

Ralph Beard
Vernon Hatton
Johnny Cox
Tom Parker
LeRon Ellis

Larry Conley
Jim Master
Chris Mills
Deron Feldhaus
Rodney Dent

Every older fan I’ve ever met has told me that Ralph Beard was the best PG they ever saw at UK. They, & tons of media/analysts, have also said that Beard would’ve thrived in the modern era. If not for the scandal, many believe that Beard might’ve been in the discussion for PG GOAT. Crazy he wasn’t drafted. Same for Cox.

Oh yes. Ashamed to admit I temporally forgot about Beard. I was thinking someone should have drafted him.....early.

Best players left undrafted?

Andrew Harrison (a PG that started on back to back final 4 teams which shows how deep our history is)
Sparks
Mintz
Briscoe

Also Kellen Grady was one I really considered off the bench with his shooting. Surprised he didn’t go.

I conserved Grady and I just went with as many multi year guys as I could.

Seems a lot of people were hesitant to take older talent. I took a couple, we will see how voting shakes out but I think young NBA talent will win over 3-4 year stat leaders but we will see. I chose a couple of all time great and popular Cats in Prince and Hayes and I’ll be surprised if I finish higher than 6 or 7th.

In all honesty, I looked up a lot on him. Once again wasn’t sure what he would offer. I felt the early 50s was a tough call.
