In order...

 

1. Jodie Meeks- Makes all of the clutch shots, even when teams spend their whole pregame trying to figure out how to guard him.

 

2. Nick Calathes- Leads the team in experience, great shooter, great creator, and an all around player.

 

3. Devan Downey- One of the fastest players I have ever seen. He can create, and get to the basket whenever he wants to.

I love Meeks' ability to take over a game, but I also like what Calathes brings to the table. He's a big PG, can shoot and is a very good passer.

Marcus Thornton.

Ronald Steele.....wait a minute....

Such a shame this kid couldn't play.

In a one on one game who would when Meeks or Calathes?

 

Considering basketball is a five on five game, your argument is apples and pianos.

I said Meeks, just because I think he is a better defender than Calathes

You must not watch Jodie play defense then.

The best player in the conference imo is Patterson. Meeks will win the conference honor this year imo, and Downey is better than Calathes imo.

IMO its Patterson hands down. With a close Calathes and Downey right behind him. Meeks would/is close to the name just had to develope the part of his game the both Calathes and Downey has, create your own shot and be able to score no matter the defense/pressure that is applied. Them 2 get it just as bad as Meeks but can still find a way to score.

I chose to vote for Calathes because I know a player when I see one. His all-around game is better than Meeks.

 

I agree :thumb:

Nick Calathes :taz:

I think Patterson is the best of all the bunch. He plays bigger than he is, hustles, rarely takes poor shots and is an excellent passer. Calathes is second for me, Jodie is having a great season and will more than likely win SEC POY, but Patterson and Calathes-and probably Downey, for that matter are more integral in their teams' success IMO.

Defensively you can have Greg Paulus and Jon Scheyer. There is no comparison between those guys and Jodie Meeks. :thumb:

 

As far as the best player is concerned its tough because I can see an argument for Downey, Calathes, or Meeks.

I think Patterson is the best of all the bunch. He plays bigger than he is, hustles, rarely takes poor shots and is an excellent passer. Calathes is second for me, Jodie is having a great season and will more than likely win SEC POY, but Patterson and Calathes-and probably Downey, for that matter are more integral in their teams' success IMO.

 

 

I did not think Patterson played very good defense at all in Kentucky's 3 straight losses. While he usually plays hard I believe his work ethic is a tad overrated to be honest.

His work ethic can not be questioned IMO. He works as hard as any player in the country night in and night out. For UK to win the SEC and make some noise in March Pat Pat must be healthy and ready to go; they can live with Meeks having an off night but if Patterson doesn't show up, it is a whole different story.

And I don't think I've seen Jodie play much D this season, it is the one area he lacks IMO. What would he do against Ellington when he's hitting, or Steph Curry. Calathes lit him up Tuesday night
