If you think that will be his approach, and I know you dont..then I have some ocean front property in Arizona and I will throw the golden gate in free.
Perry has good enough ball handing and passing skills to play the point . Does Hart ? I have no idea. But they may not even play the same position.
If he declares for the draft he's gone he won't be able to withdraw his name , this will be his 3rd time declaring and you can only return after the first 2
Knox would not start over Theiro. I’m not even sure he would start over Burks (who I think will be solid for us). Theiro I predict at least 2nd team all-SEC next year (decent chance 1st team).
Jack said Dillingham would not come here and Bradshaw was going to USC.
Just like there’s no way the two best players on the team would ever come off the bench.
I agree with you on Thiero being very good next season. But I think he's the starting PF, or at least I hope so. He's so explosive and strong too, plus I think we know he's got some skills and those skills are improving with experience and maturity. I think that gives UK a nice advantage with Thiero at the 4, and also allows another shooter at the 3 (assuming UK wants that and will go after one).
Of course but why would you even give that a possibility
Thiero would need to be a starter. He is a better player than Bradshaw right now and he will be next year also. He would also be better than Knox. Why do people expect Adou to keep being content with a back up role?
At the time Hart signed it was still up in the air whether Antonio would be back. There was something else going on as well that made it appear that we may have had some minutes at the gaurd spot this year.
Yeah cause it isn't like Cal ever signs other players during the offseason including the portal. This is quite the overreaction.
I think he works on his shot this summer, and his fluidity with the ball, and becomes more a 3/4. And Burks also shows us as a 3-way scorer at the other forward. Essentially interchangeable at the 3 & 4. "Thunder & Lighting" (this coming from the person that came up with "ThReeves" last year). Both hitting 3's, both driving and finishing.
That is why, ..... AND being 2nd round picks might get you a contract or might not, and even if it does there is a good chance you spend that first year in the G-league, maybe make it onto back end of a roster your 2nd year, maybe start contributing your 3rd year, and then you have to sign a much lesser valued ($) 2nd contract than if you had waited one more year, enter as a lottery pick and will have "climbed the ladder higher" by the time your 3rd year ends.
Why do you think he will be a back up? He's started games this season. You do know that players get better?! He's missed several games this season and though I love the kids game I don't believe it's a crime he's been a backup at times. As of late it's looked like sticking with Edwards was the correct move .
I know, I’d rather he keep his ascent, and keep on helping us have a better chance to go far. He may get drafted but I’d love to have a year 2. I can’t wait to see Burks develop, I think he can be a good asset down the line.

I was responding to someone who made projected a starting lineup with him NOT in it.
Or, hear me out, maybe wait until the season is over before people start obsessing over who stays and who goes?
I believe many would agree with you on expecting Thiero to start and be one of UK’s most important players next season. But if Bradshaw returns I think he is competing with Quaintance and Cyril at the Center position, rather than with Thiero at PF.

The % of Cal freshman returning who have a chance to be drafted, that return is pretty low. That qualifies are rare to me.
I guess around 25% of Calipari's early leavers hang around past freshman year. Good for them, but none of them owe the fanbase anything beyond playing as well as they can while they're here.
