They are both a joke on ready for the Nba. We all waited for Ej to dominate college basketball and he never came close to. His shooting is not even close to Nba caliber. Hagans can't shoot and isn't big enough and committed way to many turnovers They both needed to come back and improve their game sad.
hagans, montgomery
- Thread starter ukwild1234
- Start date
What a new and interesting topic of discussion. [winking]
Maybe they both know they aren’t ready for NBA now and most likely aren’t ever going to be so they might as well begin their pro career wherever that may be but they should always start with taking a shot atNBA and then go to Europe if they don’t stick
Hagans is going to be a top 40 pick and an elite defender from day 1. Apples and oranges. Hell that is apples to t shirts LOL . People let their silly hate for Hagans blind them to what the scouts know and say. IQ is the one who needs to worry. He is a 6'3 guy who hasn't proven he can be a pg. I worry he won't be drafted . Hagans is on every mock in the 25-45 range. IQ is not even on some mocks. Nick isn't either though I think even if Nick isn't drafted he will thrive so sometimes if you aren't going to be a 1st rounder it is better to not be drafted. Gabriel learned that. He was with 2 teams that needed someone like him and he even started last season.
But yes on EJ you are spot on.

You can stand there if you want. But that train done left the station.
hagans isn’t big enough? wuh
his effort, even if misguided, was probably the best on the team. he’s an athlete and strong enough not to get bullied. not seeing that gripe at all.

fans never liked him for whatever reason they still hold a grudge over the tennessee game like they’ve never made a mistake in life.
Wow haven’t seen a thread about this before...oh wait
It was the UT game and then his dumb butt posted an online video holding a wad of cash. I mean how dumb do you have to be to do that? Although what does he care, he already had both feet out the door.
Strong? Hagans? Dude could not make a layup without falling on his ***. Dude missed more layups than any PG ever at UK.
point guard at uk has to be the most pressure packed position in college basketball. all the ones to succeed here have in some way succeeded on the next level. i’d bet on hagan’s being better than the andrew or isaiah’s we’ve had that stayed 2 years and you really couldn’t get a true perspective on because their teammates here were probably all better than them. hagan’s is a great athlete and can run the whole game offensively and defensively. i don’t think either of those two could. i tend to think he’ll make it as a pro for longer. if he even improves one thing offensively i think he’d be a steal of a pick in the top 50.
who bullied him this year? made him play off the ball? could stop him from penetrating in pick and roll? the dude made dumb decisions inside the arc since late january. everyone saw it. for a month straight he was unstoppable inside the arc with a mid range game and 8+ ft’s a game. it disappeared.
he is physical enough to play in the nba. will his offensive game and mostly decision making allow him to make it is the question.

They both weren't coming back after sophomore year regardless. Idt EJ would've been a starter next year anyways
People tend to look at this in terms of well they aren't good enough for the NBA or they are going to be drafted 2nd round why don't they come back.
But honestly, EJ is what he is. His non existent NBA stock was never getting better if he came back anyways lol

They decided to go. I’m over it. Let’s get behind these young guys. Live and let live. No reason to continue dogging our guys. Doesn’t help them, us and our program. Kids come here because of our legendary support. Time to show it
