Wrights a really good pg and I hate that we may miss out on him but zoom isn’t a bad second choice at all.
You mean third choice. Because 1 - Stokes, 2 - Wright, 3 - Diallo (and he's not even a great 3 at that).

Isn't this the guy Stokes wanted to play with? Guess I'm lost

I just hope and pray that we can get wright I mean what are we doing we can’t just keep settling for our 2nd or 3rd option at crucial positions like point guard, small forward, and power forward like we did last year. We need to land our first option. WE IS KENTUCKY!

I don’t know why he said zoom was our third choice. Zoom is a good point guard. He’s not as good as Wright but I’d still be happy with him. It worries me how Pope will fill out the rest of the roster though.
Yeah if we don’t get wright zoom is definitely the second option he is a really talented player and distributes and runs the offense great

I hope he has some good teammates to pass the ball to or it’s going to be a long season. I’m definitely worried.

What a great argument. All college players are of similar skill since they aren't in the NBA. Holy shitt you are dumb as a rock.
Damn, it wasn’t hard what I was saying. The point was to there’s not as big of a gap between Zoom and Wright as perceived.

So Yaxel and Jelavic aren’t very different since they both were playing in college last year? That’s the point you tried to make.

I’m excited about the 8th ranked PG out of the portal. He came from a team of 5 stars and still had a losing record. Perfect for Pope. Have we even contacted the VCU guard Hill?

Dude carried multiple times…
Unfortunately, this is what basketball is now. Carries and walks are just part of the game at this point. Same with the three second call in the lane. They are never called. Also, a hill I will die on. I don’t care what anybody says that’s stupid James Harden step back three point shot everybody does now is a freaking walk. I don’t understand how anybody can watch a player do that and not say that was a walk. It blows my mind. Every time I saw Jasper Johnson do it this year I just can’t understand how that is allowed in the game…….

Oh, and stay off my grass.

I’m getting old….

Worse than Lowe and Butler. Point guard play will be worse than the past 2 years. Unless UK gets impact players in the portal, they will reply on organic internal improvement from existing players like Moreno becoming an All SEC caliber player.

I’m speaking specifically about Wriight and Zoom. You’re taking it into a different realm including every player. Wright isn’t heads and shoulders better than Zoom.

I like Zoom’s size 6’4 190. He can absorb contact better than Lowe and Butler.
