born2reign Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 If Lyles is projected to go 26th would he leave? If UK loses WCS, Townes, and Johnson and that's it, get ready for more 40-0 talk for next year. I think Lyles will be higher on the list by season's end, as well as Booker. That being said, if we could keep both with Skal and maybe another big (like a reclassified Thon Maker) coming to help Marcus Lee in the front court, this team will be formidable again next year.

Well if Lyles and Booker climb the list Dakari is surely to drop. Either way if Cal stays this could just be the beginning. I have to believe Booker is around for another year or two.

John Anthony Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Twins simply need to stick around for 4 years and pull out a Keith Bogan's career. Very similar builds and players, except Aaron is a notch better shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar builds and players, except Aaron is a notch better shooter. I like the Keith Bogans comparisons. Hopefully they can come close to replicating his career. Bogans seemed to have a better handle and was quicker on defense. Towns and WCS have the most upside, but I am not sure on the rest being all that good at the next level.

Stick it out and improve their game and make more money in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see the twins as NBA players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towns has the highest upside, but I think Trey and Booker also have high upsides. WCS- he will either be like Noah or he'll be like Varajao.

Michael Corleone Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I believe the twins can and will play in the NBA. The Bogans comparison is pretty much spot on especially for Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm really impressed with Lyles skill set. He is much more athletic than I was lead to believe. I'm impressed with all four freshmen. They took over the game and beat Louisville when the older players were floundering, fumbling, and making poor decisions. They're playing like seasoned vets.

None are spectacular talents, but all 4 are basketball savvy. During the crucial moments the other day it was the 4 Freshman and Aaron Harrison on the court.

born2reign Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Considering the talents of the other guys on the UK team. I guess we can say.........UK is loaded.:popcorn: Think about this- the four guys in our top 2 rotations not mentioned in that mock are Poythress, Ulis, Booker and Marcus Lee. UK is, potentially (dare I say, likely), playing 10 NBA guys when the two platoons are 100% healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
