Cal wanted him to Redshirt he said no so he went to Gonzaga so he could redshirt. Playing against his type of competition he is playing lights out. Smart move by him. Good Luck Kyle the rest of the way.

Real good article.

 

For all of you UK fans bashing, he's not the same guy he used to be. And with that in mind, I hope UK plays Gonzaga in the tourney and he goes for 30 against your guys. Lord knows the motivation will be there.

In your case, I'd say the bold part, applies to virtually every player in the country.

Cal wanted him to Redshirt he said no so he went to Gonzaga so he could redshirt. Playing against his type of competition he is playing lights out. Smart move by him. Good Luck Kyle the rest of the way.

 

The bolded is simply false. In Gonzaga's games against SMU, Georgia, St. John's, Arizona, Washington State, UCLA, BYU, St. Mary's, and Memphis (all legit D1 competition) he's averaged 17.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 0.9 tpg, and 51% FG and 39% 3PT%. He's playing very well against good competition as well as the poor teams on the schedule.

I root for the kid, but of all the Zags games I've watched he hasn't improved that much if at all in my opinion. Obviously he hasn't stepped foot in a weight room. He'll get eaten alive in the NBA, if he gets any chance at all.

 

Now, that being said, I was a guy who thought the skinny Tayshaun Prince would get hammered in the NBA.

 

Zero doubt that he will get the chance at the next level, offense rules, particularly if you are 6'10".

Whole lot of doubt if you're talking NBA.

 

You absolutely have to be able defend your man one on one in NBA. There's no zone to hide your weakness.

 

Every player in the league at his position will be able to guard him. He will not be able to defend very many of his opponents.

 

Those of you who don't think they play incredible D in the league, simply don't pay attention.

 

I like Kyle, and I think he'll have a nice career in Europe.

The NBA setup with more driving lanes do him no favors on defense.

The ability to shoot the ball can never be undervalued. Especially when you are 6' 10"

There is no way Cal wanted him to leave.

But in the NBA you have to be able to free yourself up for that shot.

Like I said.

 

I like Kyle.

 

I hope he makes it in the NBA.

 

I just seriously doubt it.

He had a career night tonight with 45 points.

 

Wishing Kyle all the luck in the world but what does this say about UK? Dude wouldn't see the floor for the Cats and could be the national POY.

But in the NBA you have to be able to free yourself up for that shot.

 

Guards create shots for stretch fours every night in the nba. He can score at the next level w/o creating his own shot. Defending however is another thing all together.

Yep, he'll get a shot.

I think he will get a shot somehow in the league. Somebody will give him a chance in summer league at least.

An NBA team with good spacing will eat him alive.
