I check up on Trey Lyles, Devin Booker, Aaron Harrison, Karl Anthony Towns, and Willie Cauley-Stein.

Don't check up on any of the others because they have pretty much made it.

You?
 
For me it's more which ones do I spent too much on in memorabilia.

I'm hitting Booker up harshly right now on his panini rookies. KAT is already unaffordable much like Davis was, but I've got 2 panini signed roomies of his graded 9.5.

Cal is making collecting UK players extremely difficult. It used to be a lot easier.

I did buy a bad ass rondo booklet auto card the other day for a steal of 40 bucks. It's gorgeous. 4/10. And no just because it's the jersey number it's not 1/1 :) it's in the bad ass 78 throwback jersey too. Incredible card

LOL - don't need go looking for how these guys are doing; can generally find that someone posted the info here :)
 
I check them all. This is an arduous task as it requires me to check pretty much every NBA box score.

I check them all but not all the time. Maybe once or twice a week I'll check out whatever games were last night and see how any Cats are doing. I like watching highlights of Wall, Boogie, AD, & Towns just because they're usually good for some crazy plays.
 
Not a single one...i prolly would if they stayed here longer but hard to get attached to one and dones...plus i hate NBA

I hope they do well because they played here but that's not the main reason I root for them. When our former players are good nba players it helps our recruiting, even after cal is gone, having studs in the league will help the program.

I love having all these players in the pros.

Some of our fans don't seem to understand how awesome it is that we have stolen the label of "place of the pros" from UNC. Until Calipari, we had one real problem with out history. Our alumni weren't that successful in the NBA. It hurt us in some aspects. UNC has used their position as "place of the pros" for recruiting purposes for years. We have stolen that title. Now we've basically got everything in our basket.

If you don't understand or like that, I'm not sure how big of a UK fan you really are in life. Maybe you just like the message board battles, but you're certainly not big into the details of UK.

And this is coming from a guy who doesn't care for professional sports besides baseball nowadays.

That's my opinion.

I remember a story about Dean Smith. He walked into his office and asked his assistant how many points Eric Montross had scored in the NBA the night before. His assistant told him he didn't know, but that Jordan had scored 40. Dean said "I'm not worried about Michael." Kind of how I feel about our stud players.

I check in on all of them from time to time, but I watch Wall regularly as I'm from DC and have been a Wizards fan my whole life anyway.
 
Always check up on Boogie, and watch all the Kings games that aren't 10pm tips on weeknights ... which aren't many, sadly.
 
None of them. I like college basketball! Glad they are making money, otherwise don't care.
 
All of them. I try to watch as many of them play as possible. But my current rotation is John for Eastcoast games then I've watched pretty much all Kings games. If they're not playing I'll go with the Suns before Bledsoe and BK went down or the Pels.

Can't watch a lot of Nerlens cuz that's a Mickey Mouse organization.

I also check up on the D-League stats at least once a week.
 
I usually check the Timberwolves box score to see how Karl and Karlito are doing.
 
None. I am a UK fan. Once they take off that UK jersey I stop thinking about them. I want them all to succeed, but I despise the NBA.
 
I don't check scores very often, but if I see that a game is on featuring any cats I'll usually watch it.

Sometimes it makes me sad because I really miss seeing these guys in Kentucky blue...
