We might be sleeping on Ousmane man 6ft11 long and runs the floor really well
He has great shooting form, but so did Jelavic.
Jelavic was never a high percentage shot maker. He was however always a gun
Highlight videos make every player look great. Having said that, I am convinced this guy has skill and athleticism, not to mention length. He could be an upgrade over BG.
Pope has been talking steadily about Kam Williams' improvement - his added weight, quickness and return to form shooting. I know that's coach-speak, but it also isn't a huge stretch.
If one of the two - N'Diaye or Williams -- has a breakout year it's hard to imagine many starting line-ups more offensively gifted than Kentucky's with Momcilovic, WIlkins, Moreno, Diallo and the better of Williams and N'Diaye. Taking it eight deep you also have McBride and whoever earns minutes between Hawthorne and Morton, and possibly a surprising jump in performance from Noah.
I just hope somebody on the newly comprised coaching staff is a bulldog defensive coach. Iowa State played tough D - maybe Momcilovic will lead by example.

Show me 7 footers who run the floor like a gazelle, has 35” vertical, and can shot from outside.? Answer UK has two of them. One we know and one is named Hawthorne. Fellas , we should run teams off the floor with offense . Pope needs to exert maximum pressure to get them in the best shape of their basketball lives. Take no prisoners, demolish team and use fear to win.
N’Daiye has to be an effective starter at the big forward spot for Kentucky to have a successful season. If we are relying on Williams or Hawthorne to start or play significant minutes, we won’t match up with the rest of the conference.
My god why do some of you do this to
Yourselves
Dude takes some absolutely WILD shots for a 6'11 guy and still made a higher percentage than Jelavic.
With a more rational shot diet he could easily jump up several percentage points. Jelavic shot about exactly like he did before coming here though my guess is he improves some this year as he gets more adjusted to college ball but not for us.
I hope we get to see extended run with…
PG Wilkins
CG K. Williams
SF Lil MM
PF ON
C Big MM
Kam probably needs to work on defense at that position (and overall), but damn, the potential to rain down the 3 ball, from 4/5 positions is super promising!

Wouldn't McBride be the other PF
I thought he was going to come around during the year and be a really good 3 pt shooter. I was very wrong. Lol
Neither of the 2 players you are talking about are 7 footers. If you are going to try and make a point (which you shouldn't because you are stupid) at least be valid about your point. Ousmane is 6'11 and Hawthorne is 6'8. From this point forward, anything you say I will automatically know is stupid.
Per reports Noah is an absolute flame thrower this summer. Trent got his groove back.
Sorry not high on this guy at all. We'll see. I don't think Kentucky should be handing out guaranteed starter minutes to 6'11 215 lbs shot-chuckers from senegal.
I could believe this. Noah is an incredible shooter who lost his mojo last season. I believe some of the roster was dysfunctional and Noah was staying out of the way. He might be our surprise player.
Summer practice hasnt even started yet. Man some of you all are over the top.
