Does so many little things for this team. So glad he is healthy and contributing.

He is easily our best rebounder.
His hustle is contagious, seems like things are coming together for him.
Love seeing the warrior mentality under the basket fighting for rebounds.
It might not be so far fetched to compare his game to Rodman. He is an absolute rebounding machine.
He's a GD freak. No other way to say it.
He is a monster, love his intensity
That play where he out ran two Arkansas players for that steal was one of the best plays I've seen by a UK player this year. He looked like a RB hitting the hole for a TD.
Like Rodman. Just do what you do best - board and bring energy.
He is gone. He has a natural ability to smell the ball. Easily worth the gamble for a team of the league.
I am just going to enjoy his energy and talent for the rest of the year.

He needs to dunk everything. Once he sees a couple go through the net he’ll be unstoppable.
Looking much more at ease playing the game now. Hopefully he will continue to get better. Love his hustle.
He's a top 10 pick with any semblance of a jumper. You can't teach his instincts and physicality.
Different team with him at full strength. Everybody crying about his offensive woes a few days ago when he’s barely even played a handful of games. He’s really good.
He is the key to this team. He has settled down a little and now is doing many things for this team
Exactly. He is a first rounder now, but come back and work on a jumper he could be a top 5 pick next year.
Im beating this like a dead horse. Just be like AD was in the Championship game. Do all the other stuff that wins games and let the offense come to you. Don't try to create it through the ball going in the basket. Create it by getting them after the ball has hit the rim
Possibly but if he leaves then I suspect Uk will go very far. Same with SGA. Knox is the only player who can be drafted high and not do a single thing more this season.
He was awesome tonight. Still battling game conditioning. When he gets in full game shape, look out. This Dude can take us places.
My favorite player on the team. He is getting better with each game. He is making everyone else play harder.
He does everything needed to bring a team together. He still is really awkward finishing around the hoop, but I can live with that given everything else he does.
He is the sane version of Dennis Rodman.
Love the guy, I just feel like he needs more than 19mins. He rarely get's out of the teens. We are at the point now he should be in decent shape. I would like to see him play a min. of 25 mins/game.
I said 2 months ago on here he was at worst the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team and if he had been healthy from the jump would of averaged 16/11/4/2 . He is basically doing 10/9 every game and he ain't in near 100% .
Needs to play 30 + minutes a game. Dude's a stud. Been saying all year he's our best all around player.
Vanderbilt will grow into the best player on the team as his shooting efficiency increases.
He had 11 points on 6 shots and snagged an outstanding 6 offensive rebounds in a mere 19 minutes of action. That's crazy high production and easily the best per minute output of all our players tonight.

You can see Vanderbilt getting more confidence in his offensive game. This is the Vanderbilt that I watched last year in his senior year and during the All-Star games. I love to see these 5 and the minutes they are playing the last 2-3 games. Green - PG, SGA - SG, Knox, PJ, and Vanderbilt in the Front-court is the most impressive five on this team. If you remember last year SGA in the Kentucky All-Star game scored 30+ and hit 3-4 threes. That is why I like him playing the SG because he has an outside shot and can shoot the 3. We now Green, SGA, and Knox that can knock down the 3's. Green, SGA, and Knox went for 7 for 17 from 3 for 41% tonight. That is what this team needed the shooters and hitting 7-8 threes per game. Green played 34 minutes, PJ played 31, Knox played 38 and SGA 39, and Vanderbilt still at 19. I will bet when we hit the SEC and NCAA Tournaments we will see Vanderbilt playing 25-30 minutes. Then we have Richards, Gabriel, and Diallo off the bench. If we get Vanderbilt playing 25-30 minutes he will score 20+ and have 12-15 rebounds a game if he is playing close to 30 minutes a game. He will be a Double/Double Machine. These 5 tonight had 77 points and 37 rebounds and 15 assists. That is great production from our starting five. This team will make noise in the SEC & NCAA Tournament.
