    Who is our backup PG?

    My guess is Jasper Johnson as PG2 over Aberdeen (I agree with others that think he likely starts at 2G). But my guess on this is based on my perception that Johnson may have the superior handle. And actually, I have no real confidence in making that prediction. Even though I saw Aberdeen play...

    G League Camp Game 2 Boxscore: Williams, Carr, Butler

    Anybody have information or read anything regarding Bulter's shoulder health. I notice in the picture above he doesn't have a brace on. I hope he's 100% because if so I think he could help a lot of teams (strong, athletic, defensive minded). During the season there was talk on here about him...

    Mark Pope says he still wants more player in the roster

    To me – and this is just my opinion based on what I’ve read and seen – I think Pope’s intent is pretty clearly to play 10 guys a whole lot, with the “2nd unit” guys playing something like 15-17 min/gm averages. I’m guessing that if there are injuries to those top 10 guys Pope may not play the...

    Mark Pope says he still wants more player in the roster

    I don’t think I’m the one that tries to play the smartest guy in the room role here. Honestly, that seems to be your thing. Here are some quotes from a couple of articles about Pope’s philosophy to play a lot of guys a lot of minutes: “Mark Pope is known for not playing any of his players too...

    Mark Pope says he still wants more player in the roster

    I don't want to get a "Debbie Downer" Gif from Jeff. Lol. But I'm kind of in a wait and see mode myself with Quaintance. And it's not because of the type of nonsense that occurred with Sharpe. To the contrary, I'm pretty impressed with young Mr. Quaintance after hearing him being interviewed a...

    Lowe entering name into draft ...

    I seem to recall that Calipari used to say all the players should enter the Draft to get feedback, etc. If that is true, why wouldn't even more guys go through the process? I would guess you have to be chosen to even go through the workouts and talk to teams, but I don't actually know how that...

    Mark Pope says he still wants more player in the roster

    All I can say is that I believe Pope has both demonstrated and talked about why from an analytical standpoint he wants to play a lot of guys - guys maybe intentionally recruited due to differing strengths, So, if Pope has enough guys that play well and bring different things, I think we’ll...

    Mark Pope says he still wants more player in the roster

    There are always injuries. Some cause absence for a game or two, some are season ending. Regardless, Pope has a history of how he plays – and he plays a lot of guys a lot of minutes. Now his last year at BYU the 12th man did only play 8 min./gm., so there is that difference. But then again, he...

    Mark Pope says he still wants more player in the roster

    UK played 12 guys last season, with Travis Perry getting the least minutes at 10min/gm. At a minimum, Pope is going to play 10 guys a lot of minutes - near platoon like, I think. For players, agents, etc. smart enough to understand, it's a way to play that can make players' efficiency numbers...

    Duke Maluach enters NBA draft

    I don’t think we have much disagreement. I’ve never said Malauch wasn’t a big factor for Duke. I actually believe that was one of his better games. Flagg was a pretty big factor for Duke as well, right? But our guys (including Pope) weren’t chopped liver either, and in my opinion were the reason...

    Duke Maluach enters NBA draft

    According to ESPN, Malauch only had 3 fouls for the game. Fox2Monk, I’m not trying to call you out. You’re one of my favorite posters and entitled to your opinion. I just think you’re elevating Malauch to a pedestal on which he didn’t belong. And in the process you’re unfairly (although...

    Duke Maluach enters NBA draft

    I’m not suggesting that Maluach wasn’t a good player for Duke, but I think it would be revisionist history to try to attribute UK’s win to Maluach’s relatively minor cramping issue. Maluach played 23 minutes against UK, but he only averaged 21 minutes for the season. His backup at that time...
