Well since Long, Malone and Lanter graduated, I guess they don't see any minutes on your Xbox. Floreal will probably average about the 1.5 mpg he did last year in the real world.
Hell, you don't even know who's still here do you?
Say we get Brown, what is Cal's rotation?

I said WOULD THEY (Meaning assuming they were still on the team, it's called context).
As I put in a subsequent post (big word, I know, look it up), we'll have Floreal and that new walk on we added yesterday, and probably at least 1 more.
Why not factor that in?
I'll wait...
You mean the starting 5 where you copied and pasted mine and changed a minute from Poy to Brown and then said you would take minutes from Hawk and give to Lee?
Then doubled down in your next post (have since weaseled out because you didn't know what MPG was) of your 0.0 comment for Hawk and Willis and tripling Lee's minutes?
That one?
It wasn't called context until you were proven wrong. Just like Lil Brother. If that was the case, AGAIN, where is your list of minutes - you can copy and paste mine again and then do your futile shuffle.
First you argue that 6, 7 or 8 minutes is in the rotation - now it's mop up - make up your mind flip-flop...do you read what you write?
I'll wait...
I mean, i have seen Lee go from mop up mins to the best player on the floor. It is really up to Lee if he can get 20-25 mins. There is a huge gap at backup PF and Center so either Lee takes it or you give more mins to Brown at the 4 and more mins to Ulis, Briscoe, Mulder, and Matthews.
I think next year, Lee's productivity can out produce giving more mins to Mulder and Matthews ergo i think it is the safest best.
My Goodness, thats 5 McDonalds All Americans ( I ate lunch there today by the way) starting for UK.
That may be the sickest starting 5 in college basketball history!
Assuming we get Brown, my guess is like this:
Ulis - 30
Briscoe - 28
Brown - 30
Poythress - 26
Labisiere - 30
Lee - 22
Matthews - 13
Mulder - 13
Hawkins - 4
Willis - 4
Ulis - 30
Briscoe - 28
Brown - 30
Poythress - 26
Labisiere - 30
Lee - 22
Matthews - 13
Mulder - 13
Hawkins - 4
Willis - 4

Yep - Brown and Labissiere could be to this squad, what MKG and AD were for 2012, with even better PG play.
Evan Daniels comparison of Matthews to Liggins was way off. Matthews is not, nor will he ever be, a point guard. He will not be relied upon to play point guard duties during any of his time in Lexington (unless there is just a massive number of guys in foul trouble and he's the only option), of this I am certain of. Liggins was a 6-6 point guard with a little athleticism, some upside, was a lock-down defender, but was a terrible shooter in high school. Matthews is a 6-5 shooting guard/small forward with tons of athleticism, can slash and finish and can shoot (averaged better than 47% from the field and 22 ppg for his senior year). A much better comparison for Matthews in my opinion is Evan Turner (similar games and body type with Turner being about an inch taller, Matthews is the better finisher, but Turner had a better motor), or as another poster mentioned in a different thread, a "slightly" less talented Derek Anderson (size and athleticism are the same, but Anderson was a little flashier and was a bit better shooter coming out of Doss HS).
Totally agree - Matthews is way better than advertised and I'm stunned some of our own <cough> fans have been selling this kid short.
If we don't land Brown or Murray, IMO Matthews will be called on to step in at the 3 spot - he's 6' 5" and is long plus he has good ball handling skills and is a SCORER!
