    Skal comparison to WCS - Year 1

    Why do people always talk about how "skilled" Skal currently is? He really isn't. He's very, very raw, even as a pick and pop player. The only thing he really does well is hit a mid range jumper. If somebody steps up on him with size there isn't much he can do once he gets the ball. It's not...

    If one and done is eliminated, how will that affect UK?

    The NBA won't adopt baseball's model A) They don't want players in college for 3 years B) They want to avoid as much risk as possible

    we need to accept Skal

    Stretch 4's can hit 3's. Skal doesn't have that kind of range. He's also terrible at rebounding and playing defense, but yea, that's evidently Cal's fault too.

    Laettner really was one of the top 5 college players ever.

    From the NY Times.....Sounds like he really "schooled" Shaq alright: Which is why O'Neal was surrounded by two, sometimes three and on at least one occasion four Duke defenders, every time he touched the ball. He scored anyway. Had his teammates been able to keep Duke honest with...

    Joel Embiid Reportedly up to 300 pounds....

    You guys should take this report with a huge grain of salt. John Wall was reported to have been "fat" last year before he came back from an injury and it was obviously ludicrous. Here is a photo of Embiid from a couple of days ago: There's no way that dude has gained enough weight to be 300lbs.

    Riddle me this Batman, how does Virginia take over #1 spot at KenPom?

    yea, we dropped from like 3rd or 4th to 11th in offensive efficiency after XMas can't say I'm overly concerned....seemed kind of flukey

    Our strength of schedule dropped from 30 something to like 47 we were tops until they put in Miami's win and Miami jumped up 20+ spots This post was edited on 1/13 10:04 PM by manu1433

    Amazing stat: Per @ESPNStatsInfo, Kentucky has been the worst 2-point

    Dakari has been fairly bad lately dude needs to learn to pass out of a double team....it was pretty frustrating to see him try to score on triple teams against A&M his passing was pretty good early on in the season....he's reverted back to wanting to shoot every time he touches it

    Twins, selfish or NOT (decluttering)

    Re: Twins, selfish or Not I'm not missing any point. The original poster who brought it up was acting like shooting late in the shot clock is why they were shooting bad. Aaron was bricking mostly open shots. Even without those 4.5 shots...they would have shot like 6-25 Which, is why I said...

    Re: Twins, selfish or Not 4.5 shots spread over two players isn't really a big deal lol

    Twins, selfish or NOT (decluttering)

    Re: Twins, selfish or Not with all due respect, that isn't a big difference You are talking about 11 (17%) shots vs 5 (7%) on our 64 FG attempts yesterday. For this to be a big difference within the context of this discussion, you'd have to assume that almost everyone of those shots were...

    Re: Twins, selfish or Not Actually, what you just did is trolling. Your post is clearly flaming two people who simply posted an honest opinion. If you don't agree, then that's cool. Get over it.

    Twins, selfish or NOT (decluttering)

    Re: Twins, selfish or Not Both of them will hit the open man when it is there. Aaron is a volume scorer at this point. Not all volume scorers = selfish. Will he take a bad shot here and there? Sure. However, most of Aaron's bricks are from when he is wide open. Andrew will occasionally...

    Gotdweeb Says VA Should Be #1 - Oh Doug Smh

    Twins, selfish or NOT (decluttering)

    Re: Twins, selfish or Not I'm not a huge fan of the twins (more so Andrew), but that's simply because I don't think they are overly good. However, how could anybody call them selfish? They definitely do not have a selfish play style what so ever.
