October 29, 201312 yr The two on that UK list that are surprising to me - Harrelson and Mohammed. I would like to see someone line up the player with the UK coach who recruited them. That could be interesting. Obviously, most will be Cal recruits.
October 29, 201312 yr Eric Bledsoe -- Phoenix Suns (Cal) Keith Bogans -- Boston Celtics (Tubby) DeMarcus Cousins -- Sacramento Kings (Cal) Anthony Davis -- New Orleans Pelicans (Cal) Archie Goodwin -- Phoenix Suns (Cal) Josh Harrellson -- Detroit Pistons (Drunk) Chuck Hayes -- Sacramento Kings (Tubby) Terrence Jones -- Houston Rockets (Cal) Enes Kanter -- Utah Jazz (Cal) Michael Kidd-Gilchrist -- Charlotte Bobcats (Cal) Brandon Knight -- Milwaukee Bucks (Cal) Doron Lamb -- Orlando Magic (Cal) Jodie Meeks -- Los Angeles Lakers (Tubby) Darius Miller -- New Orleans Pelicans (Tubby/Drunk) Nazr Mohammed -- Chicago Bulls (Rick) Nerlens Noel -- Philadelphia 76ers (Cal) Daniel Orton -- Philadelphia 76ers (Drunk/Cal) Patrick Patterson -- Sacramento Kings (Tubby/Drunk) Tayshaun Prince -- Memphis Grizzlies (Tubby) Rajon Rondo -- Boston Celtics (Tubby) Marquis Teague -- Chicago Bulls (Cal) John Wall -- Washington Wizards (Cal)
October 29, 201312 yr Author Does Enes count? Love that Nazr is still around. He was still enrolled at UK so I'd say yes.
October 29, 201312 yr Based on Randy's breakdown, I'm seeing: 1 - Pitino 2.5 - BCG 6 - Tubby 12.5 - Cal
October 29, 201312 yr Author Based on Randy's breakdown, I'm seeing: 1 - Pitino 2.5 - BCG 6 - Tubby 12.5 - Cal I'd give Cal a full point for Harrellson.
October 29, 201312 yr If Duke had 22 players in the NBA I'd say Enes doesn't count. Since Duke only has 15 I'll let y'all have Enes.
October 29, 201312 yr I had no idea that it was that many. How many have won a Ring in the NBA? Rondo, Prince, who else has a ring from that group?
October 29, 201312 yr What I think is most impressive is that a player whom Rick Pitino recruited to UK (who was solely a JV team player) is still in the league.
October 29, 201312 yr What I think is most impressive is that a player whom Rick Pitino recruited to UK (who was solely a JV team player) is still in the league. Perhaps Pitino's best individual coaching job?
October 29, 201312 yr Perhaps Pitino's best individual coaching job? Has to be up there. He was an overweight mess when he arrived in Lexington. As a freshman who would have thought he would be a early entrant to the draft. Now he is getting ready to start his 16th season in the league. He averages just 6 points per game over his career. It is amazing how some of these guys find their niche in the league and just hang around forever. At the end of the day he has 2 NCAA rings, and an NBA ring. Not a bad career at all.
