And I don’t understand why not ONE kid in the last 10 years wants that. I bet a lot more will want it in 15 years
I completely agree. When an unremarkable professional career has ended, no one will remember what you did as the eighth man on an above average Utah Jazz team. I get the money. But when all is said and done, I think their time at Kentucky will in most cases be remembered as the best time in their basketball lives.

I didn't forget Maxey. He wasn't nearly as productive as Nick or Quickley this year.
I am okay with your opinion that those are the better players. However, I do not agree with your degree of hyperbole. In this response you said Maxey wasn't nearly as productive. in the previous quote you said, "Nick and Quickley were the two best players on the team by far.

While an argument can be made that Nick and Quick were the two best players it would be hard to say that Maxey was not nearly as productive or that Nick and Quick were by far the two best.

Quickley was SEC POTY and first team All-SEC.

Not only do the traditional metrics suggest as much, but Quickley and Richards were far more efficient than Maxey. For example, how many guards during the Calipari Era had a higher true shooting% with a usage greater than 20%? The answers are Booker and Lamb. That's it. That's the list. Quickley was one of the best shooters we've had during the Calipari Era.

I don't get into Instagram or anything, but why do people follow these kids? I don't get the point of getting worked up for stuff you have no control over.

1) the weird thing about this board is so many rag on social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) when this board, is in fact, social media as well, lol

2) people aren’t following them because they’re trying to harass them. They follow them in support to help build their brand. 99.9 of their followers have virtually no interaction with them:
