April 15, 201412 yr I'm just trying to figure out who Billy is... Billy Hamilton. Couldn't hit water out of a boat. Just like JA trying to compare WCS to Kenyon Martin...
April 15, 201412 yr Could be the absolute best player in the sport next year??? :lol2: I get where you're coming from, but it is hard for me to think of any player who improved more than Kenyon Martin did from freshman year to senior year. Nothing wrong or outlandish based on pure talent with hoping for the same out of WCS. Edited April 15, 201412 yr by Voice of Reason
April 15, 201412 yr Let's ask the college basketball guru. GT, if Dakari were to return, do you see Towns starting over and playing more than him? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Nothing wrong or outlandish based on pure talent with hoping for the same out of WCS. So we should just compare every guy above 6-foot-9 with athleticism to Kenyon and hope they improve more than any player in your memory? As I have pointed out, Kenyon is already ahead of WCS at the same stage even though he is at least 4 inches shorter. Write this down. WCS will never be the NPOY and #1 overall pick. Comparison over...

Comparison over... I agree it is a bit of a dream to hope WCS could get to K-Mart level,and it is rightfully sacriligious to a UC fan that anyone be compared to K-Mart - but here are their sophomore year stats: ..........................K-Mart ........WCS Points Per Game..... 9.9 ............ 6.8 FG Percent ...........60.1 ........... 59.6 Rebounds Per ....... 8.9 ............. 6.1 Blocks ................. 83 .............. 106 Free Throw Pct ..... 47.6............. 48.2 Those numbers don't say K-Mart was light years ahead at year two. If you compare their freshman years, WCS was head and shoulders better than K-Mart. Of course, you could say that the fact that WCS didn't improve year two and K-Mart took a nice jump forward shows there is no way WCS will get to K-Mart level.
April 15, 201412 yr [/b] Starting 4 sophomores ? Unheard of... wouldnt that be 2 sophomores and 2 juniors?
April 15, 201412 yr Ha ha ha ha ha ha. What? I'm sure GT has seen him play more than anybody on the board.
April 15, 201412 yr What? I'm sure GT has seen him play more than anybody on the board. I was laughing because GT repeated what I said. In short, you need to listen to me more.
April 15, 201412 yr WCS will never be Kenyon Martin. Ever. Stop it. :stop: I think my eyes are bleeding now.

Of course, you could say that the fact that WCS didn't improve year two and K-Mart took a nice jump forward shows there is no way WCS will get to K-Mart level. Freshman year Kenyon was behind Danny Fortson, Ruben Patterson and Bobby Brannen. He played 10 minutes a game. If WCS didn't have a better freshman year, there are serious issues. Once Fortson left things started to open up and Kenyon got it going. I like WCS a lot, but to say a Kenyon like senior season is on tap is absurd...

Didn't realize KM took such a leap forward, I guess I assumed he killed it from day one.
April 15, 201412 yr Didn't realize KM took such a leap forward, I guess I assumed he killed it from day one. I remember him as a player who improved from freshman year to senior as much as anyone I can think of. There is no way I expected him to be player of the year as a senior after his sophomore year. Along those lines, I don't expect WCS to be that good as a senior (if he is still at UK). But I also don't think it is comical to compare WCS' first two years to K-Mart's.

But I also don't think it is comical to compare WCS' first two years to K-Mart's. Willie played 450 more minutes his freshman year. Played more minutes as a sophomore and still didn't have as good a year as one JA classified as a "scrub" season for Kenyon. I'm done with this because from top to bottom the stance is absurd...
April 15, 201412 yr I'd take any semblance of a "Kenyon Martin type move" from Willie--All but the final chapter again--He's already lived that? And yes----I still believe UC wins it all if Kmart doesn't get hurt!! (Willie too!!)
