Shep and Dillingham

[blackcat714]

Just ball players man. No fear. Aggressive. Excellent passers.

Should be the starters. Nothing wrong with rewarding performance.

They should be starting then but the other players in that not as good after we get a lead.

 

[Emarc]

right now have best best bench in country Suits me fine.

It’s best to see what you can get out of your highest rated recruits at first, then sub reed and rob if they struggle. Wagner and Edwards are top 5 recruits with more upside, if they can put it together.

Need I remind you that UK was home to the first recognized "Sixth Man" in basketball history in Frank Ramsey? Then there was James Lee in 1978, just when the other team is starting to tire bloody and thinking it can't get any worse, you hit them with raw power and energy off the bench.

Out of 1057. That's 33%.

I guess we can debate over my use of "rarely," but at 33%, I don't think it was "common" for him to start a game.

So, point withstanding, an NBA hall of famer came off the bench in 67% of his games.

Probably why he bacame a hall of famer...he was playing pissed off 2/3 of the time...

Tyler and Devin suxked balls on defense against Wisconsin. They couldn't guard air. Booker also couldn't shoot by that point n the season. This myth perpetrated on this board that the outcome would have been any different is comical. Cal still would have made them play stall ball and run the clock down. Maybe ulis or Booker throw up a garbage 3 that goes in. We will never know. That loss was 100% on calipari.

The Harrisons won the ND game to get UK to the 2015 final four and led UK to the 2014 final four as freshmen.

Big difference between that wisconsin myth and Dilly and Reed there. They are great defenders and can score.

Three shot clock violations down the stretch . Cal at his finest.

Interesting . I’m too young to remember that. The first “sixth man” I remember was John Havlicek for the Celtics .

 

[bookerfan66]

We have to get one of Wagner or Edwards going.I love Reed,Rob and Tre but 3 guys aren't enough for a championship.

 

[rob_47]

Every player on our team wants to start and they all consider it to mean that they are one of the top 5 players on the team. Yes of course the guys are going to give the media politically correct answers about how it isn't important and all of that. You can bet your bottom dollar that the players and their families have a different opinion of what it means when they are talking amongst themselves.

I thought Cal said that one of the purposes of the bench was to teach players who weren't performing up to standards.

SITTING them on the bench, AKA cutting back their minutes or not playing them at all.

Reed played more minutes than Wagner AND Justin Edwards last night.

Our fanbase is so dumb sometimes.

There's nothing dumb about what I said, you're just being a dick. But nothing new from you.

Sheppard is a complete basketball player and Dillingham has superstar written all over him. I'm tired of UK getting off to slow starts because it absolutely matters who's starting the game to avoid that.

This! Idk about Ulis, but Devin was getting smoked against Wisconsin. He was a detriment to have on the floor in that game. Plus, the twins played very well in that game.

Lmfao and here it is! That you, Cal?! Idgaf what they were “ranked”. Rob and Reed are better players. Period.

My issue w/ that game has always been the 3 consecutive shot clocks...this doesn't happen w/ ulis on the floor. I don't really blame Cal for wanting to ride experience down the stretch, but do believe that ulis should've been on the floor after the 2nd violation, for sure, and maybe the first

 

[Smashcat]

Sweet.

 

[CatPhight]

The unselfishness of Shep is off the chart refreshing...
