Kid’s got a nice stroke from 3. Appears to have a high bball IQ. Hopefully he can give is some good minutes from the 5 spot.

Lol. That dude will be a complete non-factor against the SEC and the actual real part of the non-con.
he'll have to play some unless we get someone else or play small ball.
"Bargaining is the third stage of Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief, acting as a defensive, often irrational, attempt to regain control and reverse a loss."
That's the crazy part. Mark Pope should get an award for the rate at which he has made Kentucky the laughing stock of college basketball.
His release is very slow. Won't fare well with the athletes in the SEC.
Honestly we would be best to mostly run a 7-8 man rotation unless major foul trouble/injury.
If he is playing any meaningful minutes we are in big trouble. Same goes with Noah. No way a team can play guys like that and expect anything good to come from it.
Just from his passing ability.

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." — Winston Churchill
Agreed and I think that's what will happen unless he adds someone.
And a realist sees reality.
Yeah, he's not going to get those H-O-R-S-E shots up in the SEC. He'll do fine against Tennessee Tech or whatever other 250+ KenPom teams are on the schedule.
I honestly don't care about his offense. I can't imagine that dude trying to defend the P&R against good teams. His feet are SO BAD. No lateral quickness. He'll get cooked out on the floor.

I have no idea but here is rookie scale
Matt said on KSR yesterday $3M...I think.
If we're talking ourselves into guys like Potter and Morton being rotation players, it's gonna be an ugly season. I've been assuming we'll add another big and Potter will remain a practice/emergency depth piece. We NEED another viable option at center, and we NEED another shooting guard/wing who can knock down threes.
Gonna be a rough few years in the G league. He wouldn’t have even played for Florida last year
The ******* REALITY is he’s the only backup we have right now so might as well point out his strengths however small they may be.
He’s not ready he needs strength, post moves and mid range at least.
Sorry, this is the only appropriate reaction to thinking "Reece Potter" and "blue blood rotation player" in the same sentence.
If Malachi does go to the draft, wish nothing but greatness for the kid. Not his fault he fell into a clusterfuck of an organization. I personally think it would be a better move for him to come back to UK.

If Potter was any good Pope wouldn’t be looking the earth for a decent back up 5
I hate it for the kid… he could have stayed at his former school and had a great season. BYU lite will not work in the SEC
Agree but if you’re him and looking at NBA low first round making similar money or coming back to this debacle he may just stay in. 2nd come back work on things you need to improve on and increase draft stock for following year.

Weird that playing with Diallo, Williams, Wilkins, McBride, NDaiye, Hawthorne is described as a “debacle” by people who claim to be UK fans. Weird and unbelievable.
Now back to actual fans discussing Moreno.
Hopefully, Moreno comes back and gets guaranteed money to grow and improve. I think it unlikely he lands in the first round of the NBA. If you land in the second round, hopefully the team has already promised a guaranteed contract. Hoping he comes back. I think it will be a mistake if he does not.

He may start.. if Moreno stays.
He could be a decent piece, guys like him usually crush Junior and Senior year. Hopefully he turns out to be one of those mid major studs for our sake. He definitely seems to know how to play. Needs muscle so I hope his RS year he really hit the weights.
That’s the really worrisome part. Defensively, Pope hasn’t set up any scheme to defend even with guys who are way more capable.
