Right now, the best thing to do is hide Boston. The more he plays, the further his draft stock drops.
We told you so...
- Thread starter SmedMoley
- Start date
Dude find ou
dude Find out would be int to see who actually is exposed and who really understands the game
EVERYONE is going to look lost & uncomfortable in the first 10 minutes of action they've EVER played in college. That's exactly why you have to let kids get meaningful minutes to lay through that & shake off the jitters & get comfortable. That is ESPECIALLY true of SHOOTERS
Juzang is avg 11 a game. What's your point.
Confidence is the biggest factor on a basketball floor and he was spot on with his assessment.
Baker is avg 14 a game at 22 years old. Yea he's killing it
You think 4* kids averaging 11 and 14 per game is bad? WTF? Baker dropped 29 points the other day.
Yeah, Boston averages 14ppg, but he takes 25 shots to do it and it's cost is several games.
You truly are clueless.
Allen can contribute right now. He's good enough to get a lot of minutes with this team. But what I like about him is his potential over a multi year period. He could be developed into a very solid all around contributor and provide leadership to the young players coming in.
Every good team needs solid, veteran players and that's something that Kentucky has been missing out on. Kentucky should seek out more players like Allen. Players who have NBA potential, yet need a couple of years to work on their game before moving on.
Those type of players form a nucleus that good teams can be built around.
That's why I'm strongly in favor of Allen getting more playing time. He could have a very important role to play over the next couple of years. A mature leadership role that Kentucky is badly in need of. It would be good to have two or three players like Allen as upperclassmen on every team.

With Allen performance last night he should be starting Cal sees him in practice each day he knows how he can score and still not play him is just terrible.
No, they are not here, they are all on the Matt Jones call-in show.
What, I thought it was bad grades or not being a team player, etc?
Please don't reply to this clown, everyone smells the trolling. Just ignor.
I doubt it would have gone to OT without Allen
A poster above gave you a direct quote from Cal. Did you read it? And then, you post this drivel? The only reason Allen played this game was because Cal got tossed and Flint played him. You worship of Cal is very telling.
I was very impressed with how Boston handled that situation. Now if we can just get him going, too. Poor guy needs to see some shots fall for a change.
How do you get confidence? By playing. Who refused to let Allen play enough minutes to get a feel for the speed of the game? Calipari. Who refuses to accept the fact that Cal gives more minutes to his five stars? The Cal slurpers.
It wasn't that we thought Allen would be an all-star. We had no real idea. We were just struggling so bad with shooting, it seemed asinine for Cal to keep passing him over. All we wanted was for him to get some legit chances to show what he could do.
I refuse to let you goad me into a fight. You are trolling and looking to start a fight. Same **** BallerCal was always doing. Welcome to ignore you blathering fool.Poor little Allen had his feelings hurt by big bad Calipari and he felt safe now that he was gone.
Whisper coach, whisper.
Best thing you can do is put that idiot on ignore. Posting just like BallerCal.
All of us UK fans understand this. The Cal fans, meh, not so much. In fact they are beside themselves because Cal was fully exposed last night and they can’t stand it, so they come here bashing Allen and defending Cal. Simply amazing.
Everyone and anyone that bashes a college basketball player on “their team” looks like a real idiot.
There are tons of real idiots on this board.

This guy isn't going to acknowledge anything that he doesn't agree with. Straight trolling.
I obviously don’t see how these guys practice but the first few games I was on board with Boston and Clark playing because historicallyplayers like that would look shaky at first and then gradually get into a groove, turn over less, take better shots, talk on defense, etc.
However the complete refusal to pass the ball combined with the terrible shot selection and the turnovers ...yeesh...you cannot give up that many possessions and still hope to win. I agree that at that point you have to use your bench for production and as a motivator. Thank goodness that Allen answered the call. Can you imagine how that must that have felt for him to have that kind of night?
I still think Boston can be a good player this season he just needs to learn how to play with 4 others.
This is a GREAT post! This, I think too, is how Allen should be utilized. Put him in for some reasonable amount of minutes per game, don’t lean on him to be a hero, and develop his game over a few years. He can alter the game plan of the other team and let the drivers play to their game too. Win/win for all players. Would certainly love to have him long-term. I’m really happy for the kid. He has a justifiable role in our rotation.

You aren't a 4 star when you've played 4 seasons in college lol. Star rankings is to show what a kid is in highschool.
If Baker is avg 14 and had 29 what's that tell ya bout his other games. Both of those guys should be the star of the team they're on.
OMG, stop posting. you are losing credibility with every post.
Both players sat the bench at UK, they rarely got the chance to play, now they're both at new programs and have to start over again and both are showing everyone just how good they are.
Baker played alot actually. If you have an agenda you can make yourself believe anything.
Most of our players at 22 years old are a lil better than 14 a game in the pac 12
C'mon jeffy
You sir are a terd for even throwing that ***** up against the wall........how do you feel when someone makes an made up assumption about you............shame on you.........Apparently you are a rumor monger ........at least I have something to go one and not just an assumption.........
I can tell you what happens when Allen hits a dry spell......the Hyenas will turn on him in a second......you've been around here long enough to see this play out........there is a portion of our fan base that has to have a goat.........every season......every game..........it must be a sad life to dwell on the negative all the time.......
Another idle threat..........it gives him a cover story if Allen doesn't show the next game and maybe be the great basketball guru that knows more than Cal does.........it never fails to amaze me that so many think they could do a better job than Cal does just from watching games........very few ever get into in practice and none get in enough to get the whole picture..............that tells me a lot.............
So.......what are you going to do if a DNP was to happen............it is the funniest thing I have read in a long time.....are you going to quit watching till Cal leaves........
The fact that you conveniently leave out is they are both quitters........they left the team.........one in the middle of the season.........maybe in today's world it is OK to be a quitter........not in mine........I want people on my team who will be there at the end..........some of these guys have never had to share and it shows with their petulance when they leave......
