April 18, 201214 yr Lamb made a mistake. I am just curious , how did Lamb make a mistake ? Also I would like to CONGRATULATE these young men for a memorable season and wish them the best of Luck .
April 18, 201214 yr Just curious, who were the players that left UK early the past two years? And how are they doing in the NBA?
April 18, 201214 yr Lamb made a mistake. If Lamb slips to the 2nd round, he might have made a mistake. If he goes in the 1st, he made the right call. He isn't a lottery pick if he stays 5 years, so striking while the iron is hot is the correct move...

April 18, 201214 yr I would say they are all doing great, considering their financial situations. I know a couple are playing significant minutes. How about the others that left early the past two years? Are they playing, bench warming or no longer in the NBA?
April 18, 201214 yr No, it isn't... Since you're the expert, what's the percentage of D-1 basketball players that graduate in 4 years??

April 18, 201214 yr ^ Great information! Thanks! (though Jorts was a senior & not an early entrant) Love the "get stuff right" comment. :lol:
April 18, 201214 yr I caught the announcement on the website of one of the Lexington news stations, so I didn't catch what they were saying on ESPN. All I know is that Alex Poythress and Archie Goodwin were no happy and seem very motivated to start their time at Kentucky. Also congrats to these men...very happy for them and hope they do well.
April 18, 201214 yr I believe it was Chad Ford, asked an NBA GM if any of them made a mistake, and they said "no mistakes". All are expected 1st rounders, thus no reason to come back.

Katz was on Mike and Mike, and said the only one that was even questionable was Teague. He thought Teague could improve his spot with another year, but understood it would be tough for him to come back with everyone else leaving.

Confused as to what you meant here? Are you saying they were not happy?
