Mason Williams is a STAR

He certainly has been impressive and has the pedigree.
There are several million reasons why he might not start over Zoom.
Williams in two exhibition games has shown more poise and skill than Zoom. I would love for Williams to get the lion's share of minutes, especially early to help maximize his effectiveness by post-season play.
I seriously hope it is just a funk that Zoom is in. No way is he that bad.

He’s the anti-Jasper. Last year’s freshman guard was super high rated, but turned out a dismal disappointment. This year’s freshman guard was low rated, but looks like he’ll be a very happy surprise.
It’s nice when things even out.

An SEC caliber guard!
Ulis comes to mind... I said on another board he would be starting by SEC play, but after tonight's game im thinking
his game is ready !
Got mad swag / confidence

He plays smart, hustles, can dribble well.
He will be a fan favorite by season's end

********,, that's impossible.. He wasn't even a top 100 player.. No other D1 teams wanted him..
Hoops just like his dadAn SEC caliber guard!

This site had many “experts “ who did nothing but put him DOWN from the moment he signed with Ky
Winner.
Seems to have a high IQ but that’s to be expected.
Under control.
Strong build
Reminds me of Butler.

I like having Mo on the staff, our guards will improve throughout the year and he will be a big part of that.
Mason is reaping te benefits of having Mo for a dad. Glad we have both.

He’s a baller been obvious from the get go.
No fear, hustles, plays D, gets buckets, big, strong, athletic, can take contact and deliver it.
He is going to starter. Could be a #2 for sure if not have the offense run through him other places but we got Chilli and Moreno.
Could very well have some big number nights once he starts to hit his stride.

He was a scrub and if he had to play serious minutes the season would be lost. That was said pretty consistently until exhibition season started lol.
I have a feeling we'll be having this same conversation in March that Mason should be a starter.
Cal isn’t the coach anymore and it’s no longercabout who has the highest draft stock, or who was ranked higher in hs.
Plus, this is UK basketball, so there will be injuries, it's our thing now.
Remember when 95% of posters here laughed and made fun of Pope for signing him?! Then, some of us told said posters Williams was MUCH better and vastly underrated?! THREE STAR?! Lmfao they missed the boat on that one! His HS team beat the best team in the country, and he played a vital role.
I remember.
I remember.
Kid plays like Ulis but hes built like Bledsoe. He's not small...at all.
One of the best freshman guards in the nation this season. Will be a top 10 overall PG next season. JMO. Stud!
Besides the fact that he is really good, he has a really impressive build. Not quite Kelenna Azubuike, but not far off, which is even more impressive considering he's just a freshman.
Pope isn’t going to bench Diallo or Wilkins to start Williams considering what those two are making in nil.
Told a buddy a couple of months back...Williams will be getting serious minutes by conference play. Looks like a good prediction so far
He's stone cold. Needs starter minutes.
And you know this how? When did Pope do what you're claiming?
That would make Zoom the backup guard off the bench and who knows how Zoom would respond to that demotion. To that point, Zoom already looks jaded by not being in at the end of halves. Kid hasn't had good body language so far and that's a big worry when you've only got three guys to roll with.
How he feels about it shouldn't matter and I dont think it will to Pope. It isnt to say Zoom cant get minutes at anywhere from the 1-3 but it is what it is. Pope isn't in a position to care about feelings. Zoom mishandled the ball so many time tonight.
Be patient with Zoom, he’s going to be very good. I trust Mo and Pope to develop him. He had some big games against really good defenses last year and after watching Aberdeen develop last year, I believe Zoom will follow the same path.
Some of those experts where trolls, this board is loaded with trolls.
i agree with this 100%.
btw if anyone has any pics of either horse of cow manure either being swarmed by or mostly covered up by flies, please dm them to me at @chattanogawildcat
Shouldn't and doesn't are two separate things. You're 3rd guard option on a 3 guard team being in a bad mood and not having the heart to play his best is a problem whether it should be or not.
How can Zoom feed the bigs down low if the bigs are camped out around the three point line looking for their shot? And they have work to do on the pick and rolls.
Mason Williams is like a Soph-Junior Anthony Epps.
……and that is a very good thing

Let’s calm down a bit. Kelenna had 2 inches on him but they probably weigh about the same. Mason is a bull and he uses it to his advantage. I love him already, but Kelenna was a freak specimen.
Why do you think his only job is to feed bigs? This isn’t that type of offense. He just has to play within the concept of the offense, just like Butler did and also like Williams is doing now.
