Everyone already did this topic - but beloved Meemommie, who’s 89 and recently had a stroke and is now rendered to 24hr supervision & unable to do anything herself, all but told us to Die Inside of A Fire when we heavily suggested that (which is 95% her last) Thanksgiving should probably be “cancelled” or at least heavily modified.

She’s struggling to sustain any real meaningful conversations after a sentence at this point of recovery, but according to those in attendance she straight snapped into full cognitive state when that was brought up, and went on a 5 minute rant complete with unfortunate and true justifications - and I believe it.

Thanksgiving it is.

Well, Jay Williams showed up tonight thinking it was acceptable to wear a gd turtleneck, so crazier things have happened.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

First UK player to show up tonight... Jacob Toppin.

Seems fitting. Get **** right John.

 

[krazykats]

The Knicks definitely needed to get another 6’9 guy that wants to be a guard.

Great pick up there!

 

[VernHatton52]

Actually, Derek Willis was in the Killian Hayes highlight.

Avdija is the steal of the draft. Your TWolves f'd it up again.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Is it a day of the week that ends in Y?

Moved 17th pick to OKC for Rubio, 25, and 28. Why not take some fliers at the end of the first. Praying to hit on one.

 

[BBdK]

Pat Williams #4? Wow. This draft is truly horrific.

I honestlyfeel like a McD Allstar game draft would be more profitable.

I actually like that move. They should use the 28th pick on Cassius Winston. He'll be a solid pro.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

all these dudes are bonafide second rounders

 

[legalbeagle123]

I wonder if EJ Montgomery is having a draft watch party.

Perfect timing for him since he won't have an entire room full of people grimacing as the last pick is called and it isn't him.

 

[BernieSadori]

Which way is the beach, and fake titties?

Not sure about the beach, but I'm pretty close to the other thing...

 

[BernieSadori]

Sutton could very well get his name called in the 2nd round. If not, he's appatently gotten assurances he'll be signed to FA deal.

Happy for the kid and hope it works out. His Pops was a nervous wreck at work today.

Not trying to flame but in a John Clay piece the other day he stated Cal hasn’t signed a 5 star since 2015. Is that accurate? Good grief.

I think he means top 5, we’ve signed multiple 5 stars every year if I’m not mistaken.

 

[VernHatton52]

Sutton won't get drafted but I guarantee he has more career NBA games than Nwora. If Nwora had Sutton's fire, he would already be in the league.

 

[HagginHall1999]

We're 8 gd months into this f'ing thing, and there's not a single reliable leader in sight. You've got one side that's dominated by denial-pushing idiots who refuse to acknowledge there's a major public health crisis, and another side hellbent on shutting down an entire economy and having 375 million people sucking on the government teet.

What an epic f'ing failure of leadership. If there's a single person in a position of power who has the balls or foresight to actually admit that this thing is here to stay for a long time, and we need to strategically change our way of living not to hide from it, and not to deny it, but to recognize it's risks and live WITH and AROUND it, then I'd love to know who that patriot is.

F everyone. Basically.

I mean he isn't the most politically correct guy ever but pretty sure that was Trump...

He wouldn't admit it was going to be around for a long time but I think that was more for the publics best interest. Hell we couldn't even buy toilet paper for 2 months, could you imagine if he told the truth what would have happened?

He was right about vaccine too.

 

[VernHatton52]

Bet my Celts go with Precious next.

 

[JamesIII]

Why doesn't Woj just host his own draft on TV?

 

[VernHatton52]

If you played the Haggin Hall court in 1999, odds are I torched your ***.

 

[Anon1700452283]

Lebron got blasted by the media because he called himself "The King" and was anointed as "The Chosen One" all before he played his first game. He also was the first to start the super teams crap.

Giannis outside of not making a finals yet hasn't really rocked the boats.

Actually iI’m was KG, Pierce and Ray Allen that started it.

Same guy who constantly has the snark? Yeah, Your boys Monk & Fox..and Bam, were 4*. Murray was 3* iirc.

...and literally 10-15 more.


Good grief.

That’s some krazykats level ****.

Your an idiot.

Sutton won't get drafted but I guarantee he has more career NBA games than Nwora. If Nwora had Sutton's fire, he would already be in the league.

Maybe. His agent is telling him GS "may" take him with the 40-something pick.

 

[SAECATFAN]

I knew it was outrageous, ergo the post. Not a recruiting ball and I measure success the old fashioned way, I guess. Final Fours and Titles.

I would love that. Celts take Nesmith. Never can have too much shooting.

Not sure if you’ve caught wind of this lately around the ole water cooler, but our recruiting classes are typically pretty highly regarded.

Please keep this in the HOB.

 

[VernHatton52]

Magic need to snag Maxey here, probably Saddiq Bey though.

 

[SAECATFAN]

SHE SAY SHE ARE THE MANAGER.

 

[UKwizard]

Waiting anxiously to hear Ashton Hagans name called...

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Hey. UK finally has a player listed on Bilas’ best available at Pick 15

Lifetime Contract

 

[BBdK]

Super spreader event at Cole’s house, no pun intended.

I think he’ll be pretty good, actually. He played for a garbage team & program for an elite freshman, as has been proven over and over, which is why they whiff so constantly these days.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Read a Jim Tirey blurb the other day that Kentucky hasn’t had a basketball player selected in the N.B.A. draft since 2006.

Sounds kinda crazy to me but that’s bad and stuff if it’s true.

 

[BBdK]

Sutton won't get drafted but I guarantee he has more career NBA games than Nwora. If Nwora had Sutton's fire, he would already be in the league.

I’ll take that bet for as much as you want up to $2000

Sutton is terrible. He’s Ravi Moss with a few inches - hardworking blue collar player & great teammate. Or a poor man’s Liggins. Sorry, Bernie.

Nwora dominated the combine shooting drills & is a sneaky great athlete with size. He’s a *****, but gifted.

 

[VernHatton52]

I'm not a gambler so let's make it $100.

Nwora is a *****. Of course he dominated combine shooting drills. There was no D. And Sutton isn't terrible. He's not great but he has shot. Team Bernie on this one.

 

[SAECATFAN]

I mean I really don’t give AF about basketball recruiting. Obviously.

 

[wcc31]

I think he means top 5, we’ve signed multiple 5 stars every year if I’m not mistaken.

And Boston is Top 5. Totally understand that not all of us are sports fans here so SAE, feel free to text me any UK questions going forward.

 

[BBdK]

Bet

 

[SAECATFAN]

Take it up with John Clay of the ******** Herald Leader.

Just when you think you can really trust a local sports writer...

 

[VernHatton52]

He’s a *****, but gifted.

There's a book of guys who fit this description that never sniffed the league. Nwora will be on a team but not for long. Sutton may start off in the G League but he'll get some NBA run over time.

 

[VernHatton52]

Bet

So we're just betting on total number of NBA games, correct? They have to at least enter the game. DNP Coach's decision don't count.
