IMO We need a DeAndre Liggins type player

[Possum]

Great length, Tenacious defender, capable shooter. Someone who can come off the bench and still log major minutes.

 

[SemperFiCat]

We definitely need a physical and dog tough team in this SEC. And depth.

 

[UKcats1988]

I’d love to have a switchable defender with length like him, someone who also has a bit of dog in them.

I would give anything to have seen Liggins lock Ziegler’s a$$ down like he did Peyton Siva.

 

[JonathanW_rivals]

I think we are hoping KW can be that type player.

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

Give me guys like Liggins, MKG or WCS who can guard the PG to the Center all day.

So “can’t have enough shooters” battle cry is dead?

Not yet

Can’t only shoot. Last couple of seasons have proven that.

Everyone has shooters, cause all anyone wants to do anymore is shoot. We need defenders and rebounders. No, not all. Still need to score. But we can't get out of the SEC and into a favorable seeding without great defense and toughness.

 

[Stretch98_rivals101536]

Mo Dioubate all day long. Top five toughness and tenacity guys I saw all year.

Everyone here wants 45 percent 3-point shooters who are athletic, can defend and rebound at an elite level.

Except it's universally known (other than this board) that those guys are playing in the NBA.

Yep. Sounds like Bronny to me.

(Not dogging your post, just joking around)

 

[Emarc]

Everyone does.

 

[Possum]

Everyone does.

I’m talking about the what’s available in the portal.

Honestly that’s why I was hoping we could keep Billy Richmond last year. He is basically Liggins reincarnated.

 

[anon1751545683]

We need rebounding. Pope’s teams will score.

They play decent first shot defense.

It all breaks down on the glass.

We have to fix that or we are S16 ceiling again.

Man, I watched a lot of Arky the last month. I absolutely LOVE watching that dude play. He’s got an edge.

Hard to argue this. Damned near impossible to get stops if you can’t pull the board.

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

Mouhamed Dioubate can be that guy for Kentucky now.

Boom!!

 

[Coach Marrow]

Perfect timing! Now do one for a Gasol type player so we can land Alvaro!

Pau or Marc? Lol

Well we just got one man!!

I’m a bigger fan of Marc, but he’s a bit more Pau

We just can not rebound last season

[pauled#1]

I think we might just have got him today!!

 

[RunninRichie]

From your finger tips to gods ears

 

[Swifterz_rivals379959]

Could that be Kam Williams?

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

Hopefully...b/c if he does buy into that mindset, and then you put him with Oweh & Diaboute on the floor, the defense should be excellent...especially on the perimeter.
