Board Draft

[Lighthouse]

And for my next pick, I select a player who arguably was as fast as Wall. I select, Cliff Hawkins.
MY TEAM
Cousins
Robey
Prince
Dampier
Knight
Rhodes
Hawkins

[Friendsofcoal]

Rhodes was my next pick....darn! Hawkins is one heck of a backup PG! He made a sick crossover move on somebody (can't remember who) that nearly broke their ankles.

[Joneslab]

With my next pick I'm taking LeRon Ellis.

[Spiritof96]

With my next pick I'm taking LeRon Ellis.

I had totally forgotten him.

[J.Jennings]

With my next pick I'm taking LeRon Ellis.

Another good pick, glad to see some of the 80's early 90's players getting picked. I always wonder what the center out of Indiana (Lawrence) would have been under Tubby if not for the accident....

[J.Jennings]

I had totally forgotten him.

I had him on the other thread on the list lol lol lol lol lol........

[Joneslab]

I had totally forgotten him.

He looks like he could still ball.

[Friendsofcoal]

My next pick hails out of Harlan, KY, he's 6'4" weighing 205lbs wearing the number 27, he is Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones!!!

How can you not say that Wah Wah probably did more for an athletic program overall than anybody else??? At UK, Jones played football from 1945-48 and twice earned All-Southeastern Conference accolades from The Associated Press, first team as a sophomore and third team as a senior. He led the Wildcats in receiving in 1947 and ’48, the only two seasons for which receiving statistics are available, with nine catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns as a junior, followed by 19 receptions for 243 yards and five TDs as a senior. He helped UK to its first bowl appearance, a 24-14 victory against Villanova in the 1947 Great Lakes Bowl. He played his last three seasons under Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.

Jones played basketball from the 1945-46 season through 1948-49, and was a three-time All-American – first-team as a senior, third-team as a junior and second-team as a sophomore. He earned first-team All-SEC honors all four years. He totaled 1,131 points during his career.

Jones helped lead the Wildcats to a 130-10 record in his four seasons and numerous championships under Coach Adolph Rupp:

• 1948 and 1949 NCAA champions
• 1946 NIT champions
• Four SEC regular-season championships
• Four SEC tournament championships
• 1948 Olympic champions

In 1947-48, he was a member of the “Fabulous Five,” along with Ralph Beard, Alex Groza, Cliff Barker and Kenny Rollins, that won the NCAA and Olympic titles.

“The word ‘legend’ is used frequently in our society but it is truly fitting when considering Wah Wah Jones,” said UK Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart. “Wah Wah holds a legendary place in the athletic history of our state as a three-sport star at Harlan High School and the University of Kentucky. Wah Wah was a central figure during a golden era of Wildcat athletics, noted for his outstanding performances and his versatility."

With my next pick I'm taking LeRon Ellis.

Very good pick. I called the Derby Classic game he played in, and he was a stud. I remember a 7 footer from Kansas who committed to Kentucky and he played in the same game. I don't remember why,but he never played at UK.

Jon Stewart. I was at that game. Went from stunned to physically sick. Only time I have ever watched someone die and I never want to again. I had given thought to taking him with my last pick just because.

Rondo
Mashburn
Prince
Noel
Bowie

Liggins
Camara
Erik Daniels

lol lol lol lol

[teamchemistry15]

With somewhat of a controversial pick, I'll take Bill Spivey. The 7 foot 200 pound center who averaged over 17 rebounds per game in his final season. He still holds the school record (shares it) with 31 rebounds in a single game and was the MOP of the 1951 title while being a two time all American. That gives me:

Turner
Lamb
Mash
Patterson
Nazr

Liggins
Spivey
