yea your right there. but you know what i mean..the guys that actually tried....even if they werent that good
Who is kentuckys worst starter of all time?
- Thread starter Rupp'sRunt
- Start date
Briscoe as the worst ever? Geez . Guy played in the NBA for a stint he's not too awful
and also there is no way Gimel Martinez should be mentioned in this thread. he was a decent/good ballplayer
Also played in the nba and is playing the 3 on 3 league and I’m pretty sure one of the best players.
It pretty much just saying that I agree with the poster who mentioned about how fans would boo Sheray Thomas when Tubby would send him to Scorers table to check in. I’m just saying I agree that it was be pretty shitty of the fans to boo Sheray or any other player but that it was also pretty shitty of Tubby to put that sumbitch in and let him Play like he damn putting up Jamal Mashburn type numbers. I felt bad for Sheray though because it seemed like he was not ever comfortable but it’s hard to get comfortable on a bball court if ya don’t know how to play bball. I apologize for that not making any sense. I’m not very smart. I accept responsibility right now for feeling like Jules Camara did when he drives them rental cars around. From the backseat.
You’re right Ed. Actually you would probably beat me down baddd. So I’m glad you don’t like violence. I don’t like it either.
You, you, uh you can just shut your whore mouth...
Gimmy was the best, loved that guy
He would look at someone and get two fouls
His response to this made it clear that you need to keep arguing with him to make him happy. Lmbo no time for jokes.
That would be your take Ed. You probably are the only one that thinks Boston wasn’t hugely over rated. Ole Corn Pop Ed.
Apparently. He’s got stamina like Biden driving those 18 wheelers.
Bob Guyette was good as a PF on the 1975 team, but he was God awful as our center on a very weak 1974 team. He was too slow defensively and had really very few post moves and traveled way too much. Just an average rebounder at center, but he had to fill some big shoes after Jim Andrews graduated the year before.
Lots of guys have started a game and been bad. Mark Coury has to be the worst who was actually a starter. After his 29 starts at UK in 07-08, he ended up getting 11 more between 09-11 at Cornell. Managed to get his career average up to 2.9 ppg. Michael Porter had a bunch of starts that same year and was a full time starter the next. His career averages are even worse. He’s at least a close second.
It’s not that hard to score double figures when you’re allowed to fork up way more shots than anybody else on the team despite having worse shooting percentages than everybody else.
I agree Boston is not the worst, but that double figure scoring average is very misleading. Boston was the most inefficient double digit score you’ll ever see. His double digits usually hurt us more than helped us. The team would’ve done better if he’d shot/scored less and passed more.
I've never seen a dude fire cinder blocks from 5' before, Boston managed that feat at a consistent rate.
Yeah, he scored in double figures 80% of the time, but he also shot the ball the second it hit his hands and he got 30 minutes a game.
He is, by far, the worst starter to ever wear UK blue. He did more to lose games than anything else. Mark Coury at least recognized his limitations, Boston didn’t give a shit, he was getting his, win or lose.
Askew and Brooks get honorable mentions.
Sad part is, there were better players glued to the bench.
Exactly.
See, people are saying Coury and Porter, but those guys at least tried to make winning plays, they knew their limitations and didn't just chuck the ball up for the hell of it.
BJ Boston is the worst player simply because his selfishness and poor shooting can be directly blamed for many of those 16 losses. He didn't care if UK won or lost. To me, there is no player I can think of that did more damage to a team than BJB.
What's really hard for me to understand is Cal kept his foot on the gas with him. He let him continue to do what he was doing. Unreal.
You feel that way because you have no idea what you're looking at when you watch UK games. You’re simply a ball watcher… a simpleton.
Anyone that would say Briscoe is the worst ever or to be banned from discussing basketball. It's clear you have know nothing about the sport.
The question wasn't who got starters minutes. It simply said who was the worst starter of all time at UK. Coury was by far the worst and was a walk on quality player.
Whitney was a walk off quality player. He left.
At least he went in the game, unlike a recent recruit.
The question is whether we’re talking about who is the worst player qualitatively or who did the team the most damage on the court. Boston is obviously a way better player than Coury in terms of sheer talent, but you can also fairly argue that Boston hurt the team far more.
Coury was a starter in name only, he did not play starter minutes (only 10 mpg). There’s only so much damage a player can do in only 10 minutes per game. And, as you said, Coury understood his limitations. He knew he was a bad shooter, and thus did not attempt difficult shots (hence why he finished with a far better percentage than Boston).
Whereas Boston played over 30 minutes per game and forked up way more shots than anybody else on the team. A bad shooter who won’t stop shooting does a lot more harm than a bad shooter who knows when not to shoot.
Regular starter? Devin Askew and it is not close. My goodness what a gaffe by the coaching staff thinking that kid was good enough to start and play 30 minutes a game as a freshman.
He may turn out to be a decent player down the road but he was absolutely awful in his lone season here.
And honestly i’m not sure i even need the qualifier of “regular starter”. He was worse than most if not all the walk ons over the years that have gotten their token senior day start.
Edit: okay after reading the thread i have to admit i completely forgot about Kahlil Whitney. Askew and whitney might be 1a and 1b.
