Really? I didn’t know that. He sounds like the prototypical college forward. Good college guy that people think could be a pro but in reality he’s not at that level. Makes the draft make sense last night. He played well but I think a lot of his limits were shown at UK and he still played quite a bit. Cal is stubborn but I will say he gives the most run to NBA quality guys. Mulder is about the only exception who could have gotten more minutes.
I mean everyone here wanted him back, he was a good college player but everyone could see his deficiencies while he was at UK. No coach is good enough to get him to improve his athletic ability or defense at the level it needed to be. Cronin did about the best he could have at getting him the offense I’ve looks to get selected, just left a year too late, apparently his draft workouts were horrible so it makes sense.
Has any prospect gone the G league route and not fallen in the draft? You would think, especially now with NIL, the G league route would be dead.
He was up there. And for this draft in particular he was projected way higher last summer when he was still deciding. I want to say he was still top 10 last summer. Maybe higher.
Worked out for Green and Kuminga last year, but I agree that NIL is swinging it back to college. Look at Mikey Williams as a prime example. Nobody thought he wanted anything to do with college. Now he’s all over it because his earning potential will be much higher than playing for a team no one watches.
LOL. A group chat you were in when you went off was witnesses man. I was just surprised to see you.
The agenda has changed. 18 months ago Cal was an idiot for letting this "star" get away. Now, undrafted, silence.
Like mid second round I think. Way late for a green room invite.
You know the kid felt bad sitting there not getting his name called in the 1st round. Hopefully this will help a lot of kids considering the g-league over some school for a year or two.
A group chat where sir?? Literally the only group chat I’m in is a text chat with family members. This is just bizarre at this point.
Interesting!!! I actually care what the players do while they are at UK, not whether or not they get drafted or not. Had he stayed at UK and led us to a final four, as he did ucla last year, then what is there to complain about. Your take is nothing but a bunch of horseshit.
What is this obsession with where uk players get drafted? Oscar would not have gotten drafted this year and likely not next year either. Find me a UK fan that isn’t happy as hell to have him on our team. By the way sharpe got drafted 7th and best I can tell 95% don’t give a coach k’s *** about him.
Yeah, because going 9-16 and having BJ Boston make the NBA means so much more to fans than making a final 4 with good college players that doesn’t make it to the NBA. Juzang had a much better college career than BJ Boston.
