George Amberson

Still only 18... won't turn 19 until August, he is pretty young.

Where do you play racquetball at?

He seemed to always show up for the biggest games. Made huge shots in the tournament that went unnoticed by many because of Aaron's wizardry at the end of games. Gonna miss him!

I'm not saying they like or don't like him, i'm saying because he is so much more physical/bigger than 99% of college guys they are going to let guys get away with hacking him a lot more.

Ughhhh... not a surprise, just gonna miss Jimmy Buckets in UK blue. Good luck James!!

If they were swiping and hitting the ball that would be one thing, swiping and hitting the arms is a foul. I get what you're saying and he did dribble into bad situations a lot, which I mentioned. But they missed a lot of foul calls that most players would get IMO.

I mean there'd be times, pretty much in every game, he'd drive and have 2 or 3 guys grab his arm(s) while going up and it was just a play on. I'm not saying he got no calls and I'm sure he got away with some, but IMO he was penalized for how physical he is and let the other team get away with a lot. Also, unless the defender was set or he was lowering his shoulder and just running over them it's not going to be a charge. You watch a lot of basketball, you know when a guy drives through the lane and jumps into the defender that it will be called a foul almost every time if the guy isn't set.

I don't think Randle got a fair whistle this year to be honest, I thought he got mugged pretty frequently and the refs just penalized him because he was so big. Similar to Shaq, LeBron, etc in the NBA it's a lot tougher to ref those guys. With that said, Randle caused so many dumb turnovers because he doesn't have a consistent mid range, his handle is basically all left, and he was learning to trust his teammates. As others mentioned, NBA'ers will shut him down the way he is TODAY. James Young I think is spot on. I think his potential is great, but right now he is not ready physically for the league and his skills just aren't there yet. He will be way better next year skills wise I'm sure and I think it'd be wise for him to come back to UK personally and have that alpha-dog mentality for the team. I can't see him going in the lottery because of the loaded draft, although I'd bet anything he'd be a lottery pick next year. With that said, it seems he's had that NBA mentality for awhile. Whatever decisions these kids make I will support, I just hope they make the best decision not only in the short term but long term as well.

I'll bet anything Okafor will not be the #1 pick

What's your opinion on him? You probably watched him more than anyone else on here...

:lol2:

Archie Goodwin finished with a career high 29 points last night against the Kings. Always thought he got a bad rap, especially considering he was the only UK player who could create his own shot and the NCAA was still operating under the HORRID charging calls they've since cleaned up a lot. Good for him!

Between DVR and Netflix, I feel like I must have missed out on a lot when I was younger. I am able to do things so much easier and without worry/rush because I know I can just DVR it if necessary.

He's a notoriously slow starter if i'm not mistaken right?

Does anyone know where you can play in any tennis, racquetball, or pickleball leagues?

Rumor has it Billy D is taking over the Magic job and promised the twins he'd draft them both. Also, it was said the twins were seeking advice from Billy on how to sell Lexington horse farms quickly.

This got me thinking... what did we do with ourselves before DVR?

I agree with this, although i'm not as confident as you that he will opt out, but I do think it'd be the best decision long term for him barring Wade retiring or restructing where they can get more help. I think the Spurs win it this year, just like they should have last year.

I think you should have to start the thread until they lose a series.

I don't think the Browns are leaning towards him. They have been extremely coy and tight lipped about everything for the draft process. This person is just guessing IMO.

That's what I am remembering too...

Willis has the skills I think.... But remember if it's the dribble drive then they don't have to be a "true 3" so to speak.

That is a blast from the past. Isn't that the dude that there was like a conspiracy to commit kidnapping or something?

I could see DWade sailing off into the sunset too, but he is still real good come playoff time when he is healthy and playing. But, him missing all these games has put a huge burden on LBJ to get things done all regular season long and then of course he has to do it in the playoffs too. I can see LBJ staying in Miami, but they need someone to restructure to get more help. No way Miami lets go of Wade. I can easily see LBJ opting out too though.

If LeBron went to NY and played with Melo they'd at bare minimum get to the ECF. It's LeBron man... that dude ain't losing early in the playoffs for the foreseeable future.
