I’ve always said that. But you are the one calling me out not the other way around. Funny you make that comment after I turned the tables. I’ll still wait for your explanation of your opinion. Why is he not legit?
Stefan Joksimovic
- Thread starter Captain Coy
- Start date
You know zero about basketball if thats what you think lol
I've played more and forgotten more than you've ever known. Be gone peasant
Good lord. This kid looks as slow as molasses. We need a PG. WTF are we doing going to Europe tracking slow clunky shooting guards?
I have him equal to Momcilovic. Cant go better, but he is a star, exactly what we need
In today’s info world - those donors will be outed if they yank the rug on Pope.
Stokes did us a favor - now we can get 2 more pieces that with our current lineup.
Sign Morton & this teams gonna be fun to watch
This is astoundingly stupid.
We're not going to get him. No one worth a damn wants to play for our goofy head coach and his wacko belief system.
If close to accurate, all this sounds good to me....
The 6-7 lefty is one of the top prospects in the 2008 generation and has elite upside ability. He’s a scoring fiend with awesome offensive talents.
Joksimovic is a big point/forward type with a high feel for the game and a nice shooting stroke. He can play on or off the ball and does a really nice job of getting his offense within the flow of the game.
Is a true dribble/pass/shoot player with good size and athleticism.
Sees the floor well and can initiate the offense, collapse the defense with the dribble and find open shooters and cutters. Plays with his head up and shows legit lead guard skills.
Plays above the rim with ease, has good length and is an effortless leaper. Is a very fluid athlete with broad shoulders plenty of strength and room to fill out.
He’s a major talent who is easily one of the top prospects in his generation and could be a very high pick whenever he decides to enter the draft.
Areas of improvement include adding strength, improving his defensive awareness and continuing to work on his jumper. He does have a bit of a hitch in his jumper, which could be worked out, and he needs to speed up his shot.
Pope, don't wiff please!

I literally saw none of this in that video. He did almost nothing in that 6 minute clip. What a waste of a trip to Europe.
Good Lord, some of these takes are SO ignorant. He ain’t slow or clunky. Instead, this kid is a big time prospect being projected as a potential lottery pick in next year’s draft.
It’s fine to be mad at Pope right now for whiffing on Stokes, but not wanting want him to recruit this kid is just being idiotic.
Rain…how much money does UK have left? Has the money that was specific to Stokes now going to dry up?
Pg? We need a replacement for Oweh
This guy makes a ton of sense to me. Really like a 2/3 style wing as our star addition.
We're at the stage now where we're going to have to swing for the fences at what's left.
The more I research this guy, the more I like. His age still concerns me about him being ready to help immediately, but he is clearly an elite talent. Might as well take a chance at this point. If we can get him, then it's a lot better than getting low ranked players from the portal.
Some you are really setting yourself up for disappointment and I don’t think we should after one disaster after another we’ve been having.
Kansas paid $7M for Stokes. That was the asking price. How many elite level European Players can you get for $7M? 2 or 3 Probably.
Let’s do this! No bigger stage than Playing for Kentucky.
If he helps us make a final four he is. Offer Three and see what happens. lol.
He’s friends with the 6 11 kid we already signed. They played on the same team. The UK fanbase has to be the most uninformed fanbase to think they are so smart.
If Stokes actually got 7 million he better win every award they offer next year, get on deans list, and win a championship good lord
Day to day I have good discussions with UK fans who are knowledgeable. The vast majority that post on here are not those people unfortunately. I don't know how they know so little about basketball.
No idea. IMO there’s room for one more star role on the roster. This kid is perceived to be uber talented. One difference with him is he’s very young. Won’t turn 18 until after the season starts. Compare that to the Saliou Niang name that Fran Fraschilla brought up today that turns 22 in a few weeks.
Stefan feels like the “talent” swing for the fences in Europe compared to maybe more experienced guys over there between 21-23
Oh good. We miss on everyone we want so here is random mr consonant from a place we never heard of, but maybe he is a secret ringer.
This is the pope pumper mantra. Rinse and repeat.
If this is the answer then Pope should have paid Chandler, at least he knows the speed and physical play of the SEC. Pope is trying to bring yet another player who may not get here till school starts.
Just roll with what he has since it’s his last season here anyway… plus the good players will get to play more than twenty minutes a game

Dude is not a secret. He's the top young European prospect. Considering we just saved ourselves $7M+ with Stokes, let's go get some killers. If Pope can't put together a team I will be the first to criticize him. My point is that we have money and there are still legit dudes out there. It's on him to make it happen.
I don't think Chandler was ever going to be a potential top 5 pick. This guy might not be one, but he has that potential.
Rooting against your own team's chance for success because you want to fire the coach is sad and pathetic.
You guys couldn't have possibly forgotten how old Cooper Flagg was his freshman year after we were told a billion times.
A place we've never heard of? Some of us have. You obviously haven't. A hint is Luka Doncic
Im talking about the guys we're about to sign to fill out a roster.
Also if you pumpers really think a guy no one saw or heard of is the next big thing well ... congratulations... Prince of Nigeria has a fortune he needs you to hold for him
Umm …just because YOU never “saw or heard of” this guy does not mean that “no one” has. I can assure you that NBA scouts know all about him.
The amount of ignorance on display in this thread is embarrassing. We’d be very lucky to land this guy. He’s one of the best 17-year-old prospects in the world. Even if some of you rubes are too dense to realize it.
