May 16, 200719 yr As far as my list goes, it was difficult to justify starting 3 SGs, but I really think UK needs all three on the floor. :thumb: I think you'll see quite a bit of half court pressure with that group to speed up tempo. Without a true PG, they are better suited to play at a faster tempo...
May 16, 200719 yr I'd start: Bradley Meeks Crawford Patterson Carter Off the bench: Jasper Legion Harris Stewart Stevenson I think Porter should get some time off the bench as well...
May 16, 200719 yr I think Porter should get some time off the bench as well... Porter is the best deep shooter on the team, and BCG places a high value on those type players. I think he'll see about 15 minutes a game...
May 16, 200719 yr As far as my list goes, it was difficult to justify starting 3 SGs, but I really think UK needs all three on the floor. I think you have to play to your strengths, and guards are obviously UK's. I really expect to see a lineup of Bradley, Meeks, Crawford, Patterson and Stevenson (or Carter). I agree that Meeks has to get big minutes. If he doesn't start, he will get starter minutes and probably be a guy that's on the court to finish games. If Legion turns out to be a solid offensive threat, they won't need Meeks offensive presence of the bench as bad. They should have enough versatility in the backcourt to keep 2 of the 3 (Meeks, Crawford, Bradley) on the court pretty much all the time to assure they have enough offense in the game. We'll see. In any case, I'm pretty excited about the upcoming season. If nothing else, it should be much more pleasant than the previous two.
May 16, 200719 yr So you want our point guard position to be a guy who "will" develop and wasn't too great in big game situations? Bradley may have not been the best idea last year but at this point he would be better than Jasper, and Meeks is to good to be a 6th man. True... what do you think about... Jasper Bradley Meeks Patterson Stevenson (Crawford off the bench)
May 16, 200719 yr I think Porter should get some time off the bench as well...I was just listing a two-deep.
May 16, 200719 yr True... what do you think about... Jasper Bradley Meeks Patterson Stevenson (Crawford off the bench) Locker. Room. Implosion.
May 16, 200719 yr True... what do you think about... Jasper Bradley Meeks Patterson Stevenson (Crawford off the bench) I don't know what kind of obsession you have with Jasper but based on last year he doesn't deserve to start over Meeks. Meeks came up big in games and helped us win a lot of them too. Jasper didn't, as of today Meeks is a bigger asset to UK than Jasper.
May 16, 200719 yr Didn't think about that...you'd think him being a senior he'd be a "team" player...but i guess that's just wishful thinking
May 16, 200719 yr Porter is the best deep shooter on the team, and BCG places a high value on those type players. I think he'll see about 15 minutes a game... This may sound crazy, but I think that Markie Krebs may be the best shooter on the team. The question is is he quick enough to play at that level. He'll have to be lights out in preseason, but he can shoot.
May 16, 200719 yr PG: Ramel Bradley - Derrick Jasper - Micheal Porter SG: Jodie Meeks - Alex Legion - Mark Krebs SF: Joe Crawford - Ramon Harris - Dwight Perry PF: Perry Stevenson - A.J. Stewart - Mark Coury C: Patrick Patterson - Jared Carter - Mike Williams
May 16, 200719 yr Didn't think about that...you'd think him being a senior he'd be a "team" player...but i guess that's just wishful thinkingI'm thinking he'll be the same guy he always was, but also in his last year to prove his talent (which he has) to the league and be a first round pick. There's no way he comes off the bench if Billy Clyde wants peace in that locker room.
May 16, 200719 yr PG: Ramel Bradley - Derrick Jasper - Micheal Porter SG: Jodie Meeks - Alex Legion - Mark Krebs SF: Joe Crawford - Ramon Harris - Dwight Perry PF: Perry Stevenson - A.J. Stewart - Mark Coury C: Patrick Patterson - Jared Carter - Mike Williams :eek: If you're playing Stevenson and Patterson on the floor together, Stevenson is the 5.
