Here's a game. Pick 1 non-NBA draft pick from Rick/Tubby/Clyde/Cal era to put on this squad who would really help.

 

[Mattox]

Dakari would be a Godsend on this team.

We'd just roll Dakari at center, Skal at PF, Poytress at SF, Murray at 2G & Ulis at PG w/ Briscoe off the bench.

Here's a game. Pick 1 non-NBA draft pick from the last 20 years to put on this squad who would really help.

Ky alum or any?

 

[anthonys735]

Damn. Do you go big guy like Estill OR shooter? Tough call.

Sheray

 

[TransyCat09]

Randolph Morris

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Main reason I like Dakari is bc once when the team went out to eat at O'Charley's and the waitress brought him a plate of chicken he was like "Can you go fry it or somethin'"

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Chuck Hayes. Wouldn't do jack to help our 3pt shooting. But come on, it's Chuck Hayes.

 

[BBdK]

UK guy, obviously. Idiot.

Still thinking...

Chuck Hayes [sick] Sorry, I know that's unpopular. Guy is incredible what he did and has done in the NBA, but no thank you. While a monster, He's just another "ugly" player, which this team has plenty of.

Pick 1 non-NBA draft pick

 

[_Chase_]

We could do much worse than Chuck Hayes

 

[cat_chaser]

Gotta be Estill.

Was gonna say Crawford, but he went late second I believe.

Here's a game. Pick 1 non-NBA draft pick from Rick/Tubby/Clyde/Cal era to put on this squad who would really help.

1. Sheppard- adds outside shooting, elite athlete, good defender, experience

2. Chuck Hayes- this is cheating, but he was NOT drafted, great rebounder and defender inside, smart, makes everyone around him better on both ends

3. Gerald Fitch- adds much of the same that Shep does, mostly a terrific outside shooter and defender

4. Estill- terrific interior scorer and good shotblocker

5. Pelphrey- outside shooter, smart, can play the 3

 

[KingLlama]

Konner Tucker

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Give my left testicle to have a Darius Miller on this team but just remembered he was drafted late 2nd round.

Nice handle, great feel for the mid range game, and a very good 3 point shooter.

 

[Mattox]

I think you could do a lot worse than Randy or Estill. A back to the basket post scorer is probably what we need the most, because I think our shooting will eventually come around, but Jamal Murray isn't going to grow to be 6'10" 250 lbs anytime soon.

 

[BBdK]

Gimme a Sr. John Pelphrey, although I reserve to change my pick to a few players I'm surely forgetting. But this team could use a 6-7 sharpshooter, veteran, and tough-as-nails competitor.



After The Water Fountain, of course.

Estill was so underrated, but his complete no show and being punked out by Jackson vs Marquette forever taints him to me.

Jason Parker was a boss. What a waste.

Shep wasn't drafted either, but I was never a huge fan until that tourney run...plus he shanked both of our shots at Mike Brent scramble.

 

[wcc31]

Damn- forgot 'Dolph Morris and Azubuike were NOT drafted.

 

[Mattox]

It's been more than 20 years since Pelphrey played here. He doesn't fit your criteria.

 

[anthonys735]

Eric Daniels wasn't drafted was he?

I'd go:

Estil
Fitch
Shep(should be lower b/c he wouldn't club down)
Daniels
Hayes


Pel was longer than 20 years ago. Easy set of criteria. Geez guys.

Remember to always go back for the edit after reading a BBdK post.

 

[anthonys735]

Ah, he pulled the edit. Busch.

 

[Mattox]

Good point. Before the day is over it will be which Unforgettable would you add to this team.

 

[anthonys735]

If we go back further. Give me Jeff Brassow. Surely he's got eligibility left.

 

[TransyCat09]

I also understand that Morris's stats weren't necessarily in line with the eyeball test, but 16/8/2 would be the best, on paper, low post presence we could have given the criteria.

Again, I get that in the real world he probably would bring a lot of negatives to the table, but that stat line is underrated because of those teams performance and the fax finding mission (lol)

 

[wcc31]

I get the big man takes, but I think we'll come around. I'm more concerned about shooting at this point. With the way we can penetrate, we could use another shooter to spread the floor.

I also look at the other contenders- teams like Kansas, Duke and UNC- and the ability to contain the bounce and to get into the paint is going to be HUGE this March.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Pelphrey is dead to me because he doesn't talk like he did when he was 21 years old.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Patrick Sparks?

Fun game if for nothing else than just remembering some wtf names from the Tubby era. Rekalin Sims lol

 

[MrKentucky]

Matt Pilgrim.

Beast.

 

[BBdK]

Sparks was considered, actually.

Who you got, Chad? Derrick Miller?

BRASSOWWWWWWWWW? [eyeroll]



*I edited b/c 20 years cuts into Pitino era, marcus welby include his whole tenure.

 

[anthonys735]

You shut your ***** mouth. Jeff Brassow is a saint.

I already gave a Top 5 with analysis.

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

Randolph Morris.

Dude was pretty lethal at the end of his UK career. Avg 22 & 11 in SEC Tourney and NCAA's his final year.

 

[BBdK]

You **** your ***** mouth. Jeff Brassow is a saint.

That's fine, but he's not in the conversation with Pelphrey.

John
Patrick
Randy
Marquis
Jurl

Those are your 5 to choose from, imo.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – I did not plan to lead the Monday Muse with another riff on the Louisville-Kentucky basketball game. (But I’m never going to run from that topic.)

The game is a dozen days away. (You think I’m going to write about U of L vs. Kennesaw State?)

But in addition to my daily checks of the computer rankings posted by Ken Pomeroy, Jeff Sagarin and the Ratings Percentage Index, I found a site that collected nearly two dozen other rankings. (Great, I’ll never get any work done.)

Here I am with more U of L-UK chatter to headline the Monday Muse.

1. Computer Rankings Trending Toward Cards

Last week, Pomeroy’s numbers had UK winning by five in Rupp Arena Dec. 26. Now the numbers say four.

Last week, Sagarin’s number had Louisville winning by 3.28 in Rupp. Now the numbers say Cards by 5.88. Sagarin ranks Louisville first in his predictor formula. Kentucky is merely No. 24.

The RPI also favors Rick Pitino’s team. The Cards are ranked 12th, the Wildcats 16th.

[laughing] @ those losers getting themselves all pumped for a loss again.

Game over guys. Better not show up.

^^That is the type of lady that you drop a few hundo to handicap outfit your shower.

 

[kramer318]

Then they lose and talk about how their conference games are more important anyways. Happens every damn year.

 

[Mattox]

Cal would never play Sparks, so I'd cross him off any list immediately.
