December 28, 201411 yr Author 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.
December 29, 201411 yr 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.
December 29, 201411 yr 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. 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.
December 29, 201411 yr 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. They're about where they projected to be last year if drafted, aren't they? If so that lack of improvement bolsters your idea. Stick it out and improve their game and make more money in the long term.
December 29, 201411 yr Author 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. If UK got two Keith Bogans- types, that would be awesome for UK fans. Bogans played in the league for a decade, too. Do you see the twins as NBA players?

Stick it out and improve their game and make more money in the long term. 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.
December 29, 201411 yr I believe the twins can and will play in the NBA. The Bogans comparison is pretty much spot on especially for Aaron
December 29, 201411 yr Lyes has a picture picture game for the NBA. The mid range jumper is gonna make him a lot of money.
December 29, 201411 yr Lyes has a picture picture game for the NBA. The mid range jumper is gonna make him a lot of money. I'm really impressed with Lyles skill set. He is much more athletic than I was lead to believe.
December 30, 201411 yr 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.

They're playing like seasoned vets. RE: The four freshman. 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.

December 31, 201411 yr Author 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.
