Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

He was too weak to play the 2 or 3 and didn’t have good enough ball handling skills to play the 1. He couldn’t guard any of those positions. He was by far, the worst defender we had on the team and it wasn’t close. He was a kid who needed to be on a weight training/gaining program and play beside solid veterans to develop. He wasn’t ready for Power 5 basketball and that’s ok. The issue is him and his camp thought he was ready for the NBA. He’ll turn into a player but it’s going to take a few years and a wake up call.

Knowing our luck, he'll probably end up in the SEC.

Who cares?

He was a highly paid practice player. All of the “walk ons” should be pissed. There was no team in the Sweet 16 that had any more minutes to give him than he got at UK. If anyone pays him what he got paid at UK, they are fools.

Rob was better than I expected him to be. I’m still upset about the LSU game that year. Should have been his moment we blew it because 4/5 guys on the court got caught ball watching instead of boxing out. Adou was the only one still playing

You have a better memory than I, brother. Lol

Crazy. I had no idea. He doesn’t look it.

Yeah, he really doesn’t. When I first saw the 6’5” listing I thought it was a misprint

Travis Perry 2.0 is transferring? Oh no...

6”4 or 6”5 or 6”3 the kid has terrible ball handling skill . I love lefties and wanted him to succeed , we needed his scoring in a huge way , esp in those games where Chandler couldn’t get a shot off . but I’ve rarely seen a kid be an immediate turnover , the other team salivated when he checked in , like taking candy from a 2 year old . Just easy .
