The Official 2017 Kentucky Wildcat Draft

[J.Jennings]

Give me Willie Cauley Stein. Cant go wrong with a 7 footer who runs and defends like a guard, i have plenty of scoring already anyways. ..

Joneslab lavender is on the clock.

[Joneslab]

I need a small forward and a center, so I'm taking Erik Daniels and playing him at the 5 like the funky tweener he was alongside Antoine Walker's passing ability.

Blue Heaven is on the clock.

Anyone else have a strategy similar to last year? Or opposite? I went into it wanting to get completely new players. I currently have two that I had last year so that isn't working out. But, I don't remember anyone else I had that is still available.

I had DA and Bowie (I think) last year.

I had Bowie. The reason I remember is that I had 4/5 of UK's starting lineup from 1984.

Different. Last year I was just trying to take interesting players. This year I've tried to take more players from recent years--because I believe the recent players are the best individually to ever play at Kentucky. That's mainly from Pitino's and Cal's teams.

Think there's been a major change in the last decade-plus in terms of skillsets, players' athleticism, strength, and just the fact that these players are playing nonstop basketball when they're in high school.

I think if these teams were somehow to be actually put on the court, the guys with more recent players would win virtually all the time.

The current team i have is not what i had in mind prior to the pre draft picks. No one really knew about the first pick so i assume we all take the best player availabl but i had planned on drafting players who knew how to win titles with players like Beard, Mkg, and so on...

That's right! I must have wanted him. 😊 I knew I had an unheralded big from the 70s as well. He must have been my plan b.

[Blue Heaven]

I am taking Cotton Nash and putting him at Center being he played all five positions.
uglyduckling you are on the clock

[uglyduckling]

I'm going to add some athleticism and scoring to my squad and another starting Final Four MOP. Give me Jeff Sheppard. Friendsofcoal is on the clock.

[teamchemistry15]

Friendsofcoal needs a PG and SF. I have a few in mind that are surprisingly still available.

We need a separate aftermath thread when this is done (seperate from the voting thread). There's 2 players in particular that I'm curious as to why they lasted this long. They both were drafted fairly late last year, if I remember right and I am not old enough as to know why lol.

I pick after him. There's two players that I don't need right now that are surprises to me that they're available. I plan on going with a forward next as I still need both, but it'll be hard to pass on one of these guys coming off the bench.

You guys need to do more thinkin and not so much talkin.
