Tyran Stokes vs. Milan Momcilovic

[W1LDCAT22]

After Stokes picked Kansas over us, so many fans on here said that it was a blessing in disguise, and that they would have rather had Momcilovic anyways. So how are you feeling now?

Say what you want about Stokes, but the kid is a game-changer, something that appears as if we need on this team. It seems as if we have lacked that on every one of Pope's teams.

I still believe that we paid too much for Momcilovic, even though we were kind of in a spot where we had to. But again, that also falls back on Pope.

Only dumb people would have ever said Milan is a better player than Stokes, but in the college game Milan has the opportunity to have a similar impact, see last year at Iowa State. It's not Milan's fault he has a coach who cannot scheme to get him an open look. Y'all ran off Cal after a historically efficient offensive season for...this.

 

[Ednunn]

Might help if get Mom the ball.

 

[Buckwheat Otay Is Dead]

Let’s see how the second half goes. Kansas will fold

No, they won’t. We look like turd and will be blown out.

 

[JwUKFan11]

Player doesn't matter. If the 2 switched jerseys it would be Stokes with 2 points and Milan with 15 or whatever.

its 100% his fault. Hes lazy . Does stokes need a scheme?
Ive told everyone for2 months Moreno and Milan will be the reason we struggle this year and 3 games in thats soot on

Fold us?

 

[Shaudylo]

I wonder why Milan never had much of an issue getting up shots at Iowa St

 

[Battle_Cat]

I mean the jury will remain out until UK remembers they have the #1 three pt shooter in the country on the team and use him that way lol. It's infuriating to watch some of these senseless shots go up with no assemblance of an offensive clue from UK. UK needs to shorten its rotation of players, I know its early but some of these guys should never see the floor. And they sure as hell should not see the floor again when they come out and jack a 3 up just because...

 

[catfanlou]

Why don’t you run plays to get Milan open? Why have him if you are not going to use him ?

 

[Bluegrass79]

No, they won’t. We look like turd and will be blown out.

Well said .....looking turd after 14th straight years of no championship is a *****

 

[Agent Redbone]

Milan can’t play a lick of defense, but he isn’t the only one. Horrible defensive team. Kansas is getting anything they want.

He is not lazy, are you watching? He is constantly moving, but Pope has him setting ball screens and popping then changing sides of the floor to do the same thing.

Just say you don't understand basketball, it's much less embarrassing than saying dumb ****.

 

[BBN-N-WI]

Stokes is soft. You play him rough and tough. He folds. Mom plays hard. I prefer Mom.

 

[RationalKentuckyFan]

It would be nice to go back and find those people that said it was a blessing in disguise not getting Stokes so we can find out who the worthless idiots are that aren't worth listening to. Anyone that was that dumb should do the rest of us a favor and delete their account.

 

[Damage_inc]

Milan can’t create for himself in this game. We don’t seem to run anything for him either. I really didn’t love that play where he didn’t go
Grab the ball as it was going out of bounds

lol
Hes just not very good. He gives you nothing unless someone gets him a wide open shot. Same as last year. If you are relying on that as your go to player, you are already beat. Now dispute that genius

No ****, he is the same player he was last year. No one is saying he is a shot creator. If you get him open looks, he will deliver.

 

[W1LDCAT22]

This is just embarrassing.

Embarrassing how we are playing.

Embarrassing we let a kid like Stokes get out of the state.

Embarrassing that we have another team that is trash.

just about any college basketball player can say that much.
You shouldn't have to do special**** to get a guy shots. Thats in pope for bringing him here though.
Im to the point even if we came back to win i would still be upset. knowing nothing has changed and we will have this all year again is all i neede to see. Ive seen 14 to 15 losses since the first time i watched this group. Buckle up cause its gonna happen

 

[TTTblue24]

Milan is nothing but a catch and shoot guy, he’s not shown any signs he can be more than that vs legit competition. Hes also playing extremely scared to death out there, afraid to dribble and then getting abused on D. For the $$$ he’s making, a huge disappointment vs a legit team.

 

[bnewt]

Because he had a coach and a system

God you're stupid, all you have to do is look at what he did last year at Iowa State. Sometimes I forget Kentucky is full of dumb people.

you know, if your schtick is that you’re so much smarter than everybody else, it would help your cause if you actually knew ball

 

[fisherscatfan]

Self may have has his team hold Stokes to 8 points with the dynamic offense Pope runs.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

This is just embarrassing.

Two of them. Kinney and Stokes.

 

[Rollin Dirty]

Milan can’t play a lick of defense,

Crazy.

Every team he played on at ISU was elite defensively…and they got wide open shots for him whenever they wanted.

yea he didn't create 1 shot for himself last season and had a pg that was great at getting his slow a** a shot. You sir are the dumb**. I sometimes forget that some uk fans dont know **** about basketball except a 3 pt shot.." They sure can shoot that long shot this year"
You don't pay a guy 6 million dollars that can't do anything to get himself open. Theres nothing else you can say... Run plays all you want to, he wasn't even double teamed tonight. The dude is just an avg basketball player unless he has an unbelievable system and pg. Which he doesn't

there is a whole thread on it right below this one.

 

[UKCowboys]

I don't blame last night on Momcilovic. Ill take him on any UK team we have ever had

 

[katwest]

Stokes is a hoodlum, and an ugly one at that, trying to dunk on a team up by 20 with seconds left. No class, you can tell by looking at him, I bet Self is on cloud 9 this morning. And to think UK was going to give this idiot millions of dollars, is sickening. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, he proved me right.

 

[Padsfs07]

I would absolutely still rather have Momcilovic over Stokes.

Here’s the thing, if you switched the teams they’re on, I guarantee Self would’ve gotten Momcilovic 23 points and Stokes would’ve been the one struggling to get shots.

I would have much rather have Stokes than Milan.

Tamin Lipsey and Josh Jefferson as teammates plus a competent head coach.

 

[SkyPrince]

There's a reason the NBA didn't want Mom.

 

[MarkPftw]

I'm still shocked MM even decided to play for Pope no matter the millions. You know last night reminded him of the beatdown his ex Iowa St. team gave us last year. He probably knows Pope and this team are a disaster and is probably just going through the motions collecting his millions. Can't really blame him either if that's the case.

 

[katwest]

I would have much rather have Stokes than Milan.

Based on last nights game?

You're so dumb I don't even know what point you are trying to make. You said Milan is bad, you are wrong. Accept it and move on.
