Solid deflection to a direct question.

I don't see a single person who's said he can do no wrong.  Everyone here would agree that this has been a terrible season for him.

It's going to take him a while to discover that the answer is zero.

You are one of those few, but I think everyone knew that.

Exactly.  Cal's biggest detriment this year has been player development.  I refuse to believe that Boston is a 12 ppg scorer.  He's not consistently improved, and he's the type of guy Cal has been adept at developing.  That's a problem. 

I hear ya and don't disagree but the biggest lack of player development is Askew. And I dont want to rag on him but a PG like so many good ones we have had that developed as their year went (e.g. Shai, Fox, heck even Hagans at times) and then a player like Boston has a lot more opportunities to develop too.

The defense is almost never on their heals at all when Boston touches the ball. Thats not the case if he is playing with a lot of previous UK point guards. Hell, if Clark was on the floor with him, I bet we see better play from Boston. But who knows, maybe he sucks too.

When has he said that Cal can do no wrong?

I am not sure how many times in this thread I can say that Cal is to blame for recruiting this crap team before you read it.

And still defecting. Guess you won't get that answer from him @Randy Parker. It was a good question too.

Brought Allen in during the dry spell.  He immediately gets a good, open look from the wing.  Misses.

Boston drives on the very next possession and misses a dunk.  At the under 4, we're down 10 instead of 5.

I'm with MJ on this.  If you want to blame recruiting, have at it.  I'll even give you player development as the season has progressed, because most of these guys haven't shown marked improvement. As for this game, I'm not sure what could be done. 

Pretty much right in the mark!!

The reason I think it's Boston is because of how highly he was rated.  I'm with you on Askew, even though he played pretty well today.  I just think Boston has underperformed more than any other. 

I bet this whole season has thoroughly entertained non-UK fans.  From the terrible season to Cal struggling to us melting down after every game, we've provided quality entertainment all season long.

You're welcome. LOL

Yes, Cal has gone further than Rick Barnes in the NCAA tourney, I’m sure that will be in his UK HOF speech. I look forward to it.

With “bad” 5 star players we can’t find a way to coach them to a .300 record?  Is that asking for a lot?

Fixed that for you.

You're the one who said it's becoming like Ohio State and Michigan.

He definitely has. I just wonder what he would do if he had a more athletic PG that could create and blow by someone like most of Cal's previous PGs. Which the frees things up better for a guy like Boston. Hell, I can't believe I am saying this but I think Ryan Harrow would even be better.

I think Askew will get better over time because he seems to play hard, he will get smarter, and hopefully shoot better. Not sure he will ever be able to create for others but be more a floor manager.
