Board Draft

[J.Jennings]

Pat Riley was never an assistant at UK. A player but not a coach.

I never knew that............................

Long story short, he never coach at KENTUCKY but he's a Champioinship coach UK alum, why not Pat Riley?????

[J.Jennings]

On a side note, Terrance Jones will be joining Anthony Davis in New Orleans....

[Joneslab]

Alright, with my final pick I need a scorer. Somebody dynamic and probably a little half-crazy. A guy who will take any shot, it doesn't matter where he's at on the court. A guy who probably single-handedly precludes me from picking '90s era Rick Pitino as my coach because Pitino (I've heard) had such intense battles with this guy it almost came to blows a few times.

I'm talking about the man, the myth, the legend Derrick Miller.

And that's a real good pick. I think people forget just how good of a season he had while on probation, this dude was killing it from the outside..............

I just thought we would consider someoe who actually coached at Kentucky.

For the same reason we aren't factoring NBA performance into our player evaluations. This entire thing is only about what happened during the person's time at UK.

But let me put up another NBA video...

Then does that mean that great players like Cousins and the whole cast of Cal players are disqualified? I mean, Cal has had star players sacrifcing minutes, shots, stats, and all the accomplishments for the good of the team.

Bottomline, who cares about NBA accomplishments. There is a reason why Cal recruits athletes,, there is a reason why Tubby Smith is no longer here. This is where you make up your mind whether or not you want a 4 year guy with good stats who develops or do you want to play for Championships year in and year out........

A matchup is a matchup, you can throw the stats line out the window if you are really being honest with yourself...........................

This upcoming vote is going to be viscous, I can feel it

[J.Jennings]

But let me put up another NBA video...

So let's put up another NBA video so we can build the UK brand. You ever wonder why Calipari installed all his players on the wall for the new recruits to see???? You think this all about what Spivey did in the 50's???????????????????????

I knew I should have drafted Gimel Martinez

Don't you remember the photo of Ralph Beard and Rajon Rondo?

That's make it hard with only a handful of coaches unless we all have the same coach lol lol lol lol......

The NBA is a tricky thing. I tried to think of guys who'd been drafted and had played in the NBA even though NBA production shouldn't count.

I think where a player was drafted sometimes (not all the time: Skal) will show that a player has something that might separate him from others. It's why I took LeRon Ellis, not only because he had a solid sophomore year but because he was a first-round draft pick. A lot of great players at UK didn't play in the NBA, which is not a knock on them but it does give a person a little bit of a metric for how to think about them. (Again, not in all cases. I do think Anthony Epps would've been a great point guard with any team.)

All that said, I think I might have the worst team but it was really fun.

I knew I should have drafted Gimel Martinez

And i should have drafted Rob Lock or Jared Carter, maybe S. Alleyne,..............
