OMG a wide open dunk. Crazy.

 

[BBdK]

he has showed some flashes defensively.
.

Umm, no he hasn't. He's looked completely dismal and lost. You can't block shots when you are constantly out of position or have no clue how to play defense.

He can, and probably will be a good player one day -- that day will not be this year, so shut up about it.

 

[anthonys735]

Don't disagree with him but you can see the attitude ABH and I are dealing with. Makes it tough to be his support system when he's so mean.
I'm
Also, SKJ is at least a year off.

 

[BBdK]

I'm not mean I just keep it :100points: You are a terrible support system, btw
You're
also, drunk.

 

[anthonys735]

Yup

 

[Hank Camacho]

SKJ is suffering from terrible haircut disease. If he'd lose the hightop fade, he'd be 10% better, guaranteed.

PREDICTION: Hamidou is way too good for Cal to leave on the bench. He's a 3 in this offense and he will go Django Unchained at some point.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Diallo has 7 foot wingspan? Seems like he would have all of the goods to be a really good defender but there's the freshmen learning curve issue.

I'm just excited we have a true "wing" for the first time in what seems like forever.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Does anyone in college or pro basketball NOT have a 7 foot wingspan??

Seriously.

 

[Mattox]

Brad Calipari.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Randle actually had really short arms.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Randle actually had really short arms.

He also has a 7 foot wingspan.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Anthony Davis has a 8 foot wingspan. Maybe 9.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Chad have a 7 foot wingspan?

 

[assistbyhawkins]

Marques Bolden at Duke has a 7'6 wingspan and he sucks. Skal had a 7'2 wingspan and was the biggest POS in the history of college basketball. If we want to hype a recruit can we please use something other than wingspan?

Thanks

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

It's all relative. A 6'5" wing with a 7 foot wingspan is a much different scenario than a 6'9" dude with a 7 foot or 7'2" wingspan.

Diallo 6'5" tall; 6'11" wingspan; 8'7" standing reach

MKG 6'7.5" tall; 7' wingspan; 8'8.5" standing reach

MKG was a good player for the Cats

Disagree- couldn't shoot. Wiltjer deserved those minutes.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

MKG was a good player for the Cats

I agree with you.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Randle actually had really short arms.

He had a 5 foot wingspan.

 

[catholic_back]

Our entire team has great wingspan currently but can't do jack **** on the ball defensively.

So who gives a ****?

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Hawkins overrated defensively?

 

[ukalum01]

Hawkins overrated defensively?

Nah. He's been taught for his entire career here to play up on his guy and force him to the help in the middle. Now, there's no help in the middle.

 

[DNOKAT]

Hawkins overrated defensively?

Actually Cliff was the best on ball defender I've ever seen at UK.

 

[Mattox]

Nah. He's been taught for his entire career here to play up on his guy and force him to the help in the middle. Now, there's no help in the middle.

Not to mention things that were never a foul for four years of high school and three years of college are now fouls. I'm not complaining about the change, just stating that older players would logically have the most trouble adjusting.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Whatever. There are some glaring concerns on D but some of this is a January lull. Even the 2012 team went through the motions and that engine didn't start to roar until late January.

 

[catholic_back]

I honestly think half of our fouls are 40ft plus away from the basket. Bumps on press, offensive board fouls, etc. Drives me insane.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Bam had 5 FGA yesterday.

 

[Wrong]

Bam had 5 FGA yesterday.

I just don't think we can do a good job of feeding into the post. How many of his attempts are a result of penetration and finding him? But I do think that Fox is getting real good at penetrating over and over so maybe it opens it up for Bam. IDK.

 

[wcc31]

- Felicity Jones :flushed::scream::fire:

- of course Bam needs more touches but dude also needs to get some more points directly off the glass.

 

[Mattox]

Bam managed to shoot 11 FT's. I'm guessing the majority of those would have been FGA but for the fouls.

 

[UKwizard]

As of January 15 we have some concerning defensive issues. But if the 15 Duke team who I thought was terrible defensively most of the year learned to play good enough defense to win it all this UK team can. If not we can not win 6 games in March playing like this.

I would however rather have a team that puts lots of points on the board and needs work defensively than have a team that struggles to score but plays great defense as the latter is much more difficult to remedy.

 

[Stonewall12]

-Not just sour grapes bias but Giles shouldn't be out there. He looks slow, lumbering, stiff and has those big ol braces that makes it look worse. Kid is costing himself money each game.

-Been saying all year. They have no pg and no one to play d.

-Speaking of D... I'm starting to get get very nervous about ours. Christ.

-Gabriel with a great game. Willis' minutes need to go to Murder. Bam needs to be more consistent on the boards. Fox can't get those cheap fouls.

-Good to see the Phog whistle was in effect.

No Mulder needs Hawkins minutes

[anthonys735]

Dom and Mulder are out there for different reasons.

Shame everyone hates the NFL because this game is pretty great.

Yes but the first 6 playoff games were total ***.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Yes but the first 6 playoff games were total ***.

Yes they were and I expect at least 2 of the next 3 to be *** too. But a Packers/Patriots SB could be entertaining.

 

[UK_Dallas]

Always good to see the Cowboys lose in the playoffs.
