Why(besides Maryland's ranking) does Trimble get so much more love nationally? I hear best this top that all the time for him,numbers don't say so
Ulis vs Trimble...
- Thread starter AnarchoNeoLuddite_rivals
- Start date
Trimble is so over rated, imo. Talking heads act like he's just head and shoulders above everyone else and that's not the case.
Murray destroyed Trimble in the Pan-Am games(while still in high school). Murray was killing Trimble so bad they took him out of the game. Kid is overrated. YouTube Murray vs. Trimble and it will show you all you need to see.
Trimble can do a lot of the same things that Ulis does. He's also about 6 inches taller. Love love love Ulis, but Melo Trimble is a fantastic point guard also. I would suggest you might not have seen enough Maryland.
Murray did crush him in the Pan Am win. Valentine too.

Trimble would only be the third best guard on Kentucky's roster, and he only gets the edge over Briscoe because Briscoe can't shoot.
Trimble is good but Ulis is great. Murray is also much better then Trimble but then again Murray is better then any guards not named Hield and Ulis who are the 2 best.
Ulis has a higher averages in scoring, assists, rebounding, steals, and commits fewer turnovers. They're comparable from the line, but Trimble has been better from the field this season. Part of that was the fact, Tyler was ice cold in the first month of the season. Since Christmas, Ulis is 48% from the field, 36% from 3, and 87% from the line. Based off his numbers last year, I think that first month was an aberration.
Bottom line is both are great. With that said, the way Ulis is playing the last month I (just me) wouldn't trade him for any PG in the country. Check these stats out over the last month.

Our starting back court is really coming into its own.

Trimble is not overated.He would handle his own against the cats guards.
He had big problems against WVA in the tournament last year as he had a ton of turnovers.
I think Trimble is a fantastic pg, his problem is his coach. He doesn't push and teach like Cal does snd his system is sub par. Trimble shots way too many threes IMO. they have Diamond Stone in the middle as well as some other studs but he just fires away from the outside. Way too many close games from Maryland for a veteran team to get me to believe they are a real threat.
How have we made it this far into the thread without side by side stats. Stats don't always tell the story but they help explain it
Ulis: 15.3 pts, 6 as/1.9 to, 3.5 reb 1.4 st
Trimble: 14.5 pts, 5.6as/2.6to, 2.7 reb, 1.3 st
Ulis: 15.3 pts, 6 as/1.9 to, 3.5 reb 1.4 st
Trimble: 14.5 pts, 5.6as/2.6to, 2.7 reb, 1.3 st
Ulis out rebounds this guy? That's crazy. Tyler beats him in every category but shooting %'s. Ulis plays under a crap-ton MORE pressure than Trimble. Trimble has more help in the post too. Diamond Stone had a 40 point game this year.
The main reason Trimble is preferred is because he can START in the NBA someday with his size and Ulis will most likely be a backup unless he becomes a great shooter and dunks like a monster.
That said though Tyler Ulis's stats are badass. I'd take those stats every year from my point. Dang he can score better than I thought he ever could. He can get his own shot at 5' 9'' which helps get you into the league.
If we were talking about their NBA potential I would say Trimble is the easy choice.
But we're not talking about the NBA, we are talking about college and Ulis is easily the best choice for the college game.
Ulis averaging more rebounds is almost funny. That's all about heart and effort.

I think Tyler is the 2nd best PG in the country behind Kris Dunn. However he needs to come back next year to get the #1 spot.
Game. I think coach cal said he uses per 36 minutes but I bet Tyler averages ridge around maybe more than 36
I think Dunn is a great pg but he is trying to play a pro style game. His go to move is a step back shot no matter where he is on the court. However he doesn't have the players around him that can finish like UK and Maryland do.
I'd take any one if them any day of the week. They're all superb point guards.

I see what you are saying but you probably need to Google Ben Bentil of Providence.
Ulis came back too soon from his injury because we had to have him even if it was with one arm. This hurt his field percentage a lot.
