April 16, 201412 yr Pollard isn't a 3. Ball skills are not good... I could've sworn that's where he played at Alabama, but I'll trust your judgment on him.
April 16, 201412 yr UK will be really thin at the 1-3 spots next year if the Harrisons & Young all leave. Tyler Ulis, Devin Booker, Alex Poythress, Dominique Hawkins. Willis has the skills I think.... But remember if it's the dribble drive then they don't have to be a "true 3" so to speak.
April 16, 201412 yr I could've sworn that's where he played at Alabama, but I'll trust your judgment on him. He can't dribble and struggles to shoot from the perimeter. Bama tried to play him at the three and his numbers reflect how suited he is to play there...
April 16, 201412 yr Author He can't dribble and struggles to shoot from the perimeter. Bama tried to play him at the three and his numbers reflect how suited he is to play there... Refresh my memory on this kid's story. Did he get in some trouble?
April 16, 201412 yr Refresh my memory on this kid's story. Did he get in some trouble? Was part of a kidnapping case involving his mom and a cousin I think over a land dispute. He testified against his mom and had the charges against him dropped...
April 16, 201412 yr ^Wasn't his mom a psycho? Is she the one who pulled him off the court in the middle of an AAU game and would routinely go crazy on coaches?

April 16, 201412 yr ^Wasn't his mom a psycho? Is she the one who pulled him off the court in the middle of an AAU game and would routinely go crazy on coaches? You are correct. Devonta doesn't seem that bad of a kid; just unfortunately influenced by a psychopath who happens to be his mother. http://http://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/index.ssf/2013/11/former_tide_basketball_player.html

April 16, 201412 yr :lol2: You just can't help be doom and gloom with everything, can ya? The 3 spot is going to be the weak spot next season, regardless of what Poythress does. If he comes back, he's the only real 3 on the roster. If he doesn't guys like Booker and Willis will have to man it. Not being doom and gloom at all. Just didn't see a need for him.

April 19, 201412 yr How did they do tonight? * Lyles - 17 pts, 6 rebs * Towns - 7 pts, 7 rebs * Ulis - 9 pts, 6 rebs, 9 asts * Booker - 11 pts, 5 rebs”"
April 19, 201412 yr * Lyles - 17 pts, 6 rebs * Towns - 7 pts, 7 rebs * Ulis - 9 pts, 6 rebs, 9 asts * Booker - 11 pts, 5 rebs”" It's hard to say this group is underrated because they just played in another all star game. With that said I think they may be(if that's possible) flying under the radar.
April 19, 201412 yr How did they do tonight? Lyles and Towns played for the East team along with Okafor. They all had their highlight moments. Believe some are going to be surprised at how good Lyles is going to be. Towns is the real deal. Both will fit in well at UK. Booker and Ulis played on the West team with Mudiay. 9 assists for Ulis. He will be a team favorite by many IMO. Sees the floor well, gets the ball where it needs to be, but has a short jumper if you slack off of him. Booker is a shooter, just what UK needs next year. I really like the 4 players we are getting. They all seem to buy into Cal's, Team First" concept, which I look for and not just big points on the stat sheet.
