Yep...highest draft pick of the group I believe. 17th pick of the draft. Averaged 21ppg and 10rpg in his 1 season at Villanova and entered the draft.

 

[bthaunert]

Here is a tough one. What UK player has the most points in a single season without being named All-SEC that season? For extra points, who is number 2.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Missouri

Yes, the only state that borders Kentucky without a final four.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Here is a tough one. What UK player has the most points in a single season without being named All-SEC that season? For extra points, who is number 2.

I guess Mike Phillips.

Good guess. That's incorrect.

Hint #1 - they both have a top 50 scoring season in UK history.

Wait man? Tennessee never made a final four. They border KY. Right? Am I wrong here?

Memphis

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Memphis

Yeah, just deleted. Wasn’t thinking straight. I just hate Tennessee so much I went straight to it.

I expected to get your answer but this group is too smart.

Derrick Miller and...Derrick Miller? Figure I'll get at least one right.

Guess I’m just dumb as shit. That’s what happens when your blinded with hate.

Hate for UT is no vice.

 

[bthaunert]

Good guess but not correct.

Clue #2 - One of them played for Tubby and the other played for Cal

You’re an Office fan I see? Love the show. How you feel about the following:
- Seinfeld
- Curb

 

[bthaunert]

Derrick Miller and...Derrick Miller? Figure I'll get at least one right.

Incorrect. Miller's highest season ranks 56th at UK and he was first team SEC that year.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Good guess but not correct.

Clue #2 - One of them played for Tubby and the other played for Cal

Tough question.

I was thinking the mid-70s with all the talent that was in the SEC that it would have to be one of those guys but I was wrong.

Seinfeld I liked. Never watched the other. The office is my favorite of the modern shows. And it is almost 20 years now.
