Kind of agree except UK has a beast inside that can score on anyone and their wing scorer isn't forced to handle the ball. Vaughn got a bad break when Wright went down. I'm also guessing that UK is going to look to get easier baskets early w/o having to set up in the half court.

 

I agree, But Vaughn is a better scorer and we all know guards win games in NCAA.

Miller would be better at the point than Porter. Being a smart player doesn't make you a good one. You have to have talent and Porter does not.

 

Porter might start in the beginning of the season, but I will bet it isn't long before he is replaced and sent to the end of the bench.

He might just be the Mark Coury of this years team and start every game.:cry:

Overall, I thought they looked good. It was nice to see them come out after halftime like they did. Certainly a far cry from what I've been used to the last 10 years.

 

You must have slept thru most of the decade. UK had some pretty darned good seasons and a few disappointing ones. But you cannot negate what most of the OTS era was, ... successful.

If UK keeps playing Michael Porter a lot this year...it won't be much if any improvement from last year. Porter is not any good. Play Miller, Liggins, Galloway, or Meeks at the point. Anyone would be better than Porter.

 

BCG said that Porter had improved more than any player he has coached at the collegiate level in the offseason. I think it is only fair to give the kid a chance.

I heard that Harrellson did not play much because he didn't practice very hard since the game against UMSL. I dont think Porter is a great player, but he is our best option at PG right now. Thats not to say Galloway, Liggins, or someone else wont be better down the road, but right now we have to go with him.

If this is true about Porter, then be prepared for a very, very long season.

I guess we will have to wait and see, but in my opinion Porter made better decisions with the ball compared to Liggins, Galloway, and Miller. All I know is that BCG knows a lot more than me and if he thinks he deseves to start then so do I.

Stevenson and Harrelson are looking GOOD!
