Azubuike is the perfect example of a player leaving too early for the NBA; however, it is easier to justify his decision since his situation is a little different than others, regarding his family.

Hope he continues to improve and one day maybe he'll playin the NBA and succeed.

At 26/game I think he will make an NBA roster shortly.

Az was one of my favorite players ever at UK, so I'm glad he's doing well and I hope to soon see him in an NBA uniform.

As soon as an injury comes along to a scorer, look for Azubuike to get called up!!!

If K. Azubukie stays for his senior year, you hear a lot less fire tubby talk this year.

Add him in with Rondo, Crawford, Perry, and Morris last year that would have been a NICE team.

:thumb: Great post. He seemed like a great guy while at UK so I hope he does well.

He was my favorite player at UK when he played. I loved his electrifying (sp?) dunks. I for one am very surprised at him leading the league in scoring. I mean I dont really remember him being a high scorer while at UK. Did he shoot the ball well then??? I just remember the monster dunks.

He shot the ball well.. Just didn't take enough shots.. I am not sure if that was his fault or not though..

I also like to hear about Julius Hodge, but I like K.A. a lot more :ylsuper: :ylsuper:

After watching last year's team, I disagree. What truly made the difference was the missing leadership of Chuck Hayes. KAz would have gotten us 2-3 more wins, at most.

 

On another note, what the status of Erik Daniels?
