Ryan Harrow -- solid shooter and basically a Jr even though a "so" - played against teague all year in practice. He will be really goo from the jump. Maybe better than Teague at least at the start. Teague grew alot as the season went on so to compare might be unfair. I can't see us losing anything here.
Goodwin - A solid shooter and really fast getting to the basket. To capare to Lamb -- not as good at shooting but still pretty good but as good a defender as lamb and more explosive than Lamb getting to the basket. We lose little if anything here
Alex -- A better Offensive player than MKG and shooter - btu no where near the defense of force MKG was or the relentlesness. But who has MKG's motor -- were talking Kobe Bryant here - so thats no real knock on Alex just mad props to MKG.. We lose a little here overall but the offense he brings could even things out some.
Wiltjer -- The teams best 3 point shooter - If he is open it's in!!! He is the best 3 point shooting 4 UK has had since I can remember - yes better than Padgett. No where near the stength and defense or athletic ability of Jones. If he bulks up and improves lateral quicks - the drop will be little and maybe in some ways better as he takes the opposing PF outside to defend his 3 allowing for O rebounds. Drop of is some but not as much as some might think
Noel -- Like I said AD was a once in 20 years player -- Noel had mad althletics and so much raw potential but other than a dunk or a lay in has little offense. I know he will be a defensive force and deterent to opposing slashers. But there is a big drop off from AD as AD when he wanted to had some pretty good offense he just wasn't needed to use it on last years team -- AD used UVEL in the final 4 like a toy on offense on only 8 shots. Please don't compare Noelto AD -- AD is our MJ and the best player we have had since a healthy Sam Bowie.
Beckham - I think can really be a solid 15 min guy at gaurd - many many say I am nuts I think he can make some big plays at key moments based on the poise I saw him play with in just the little time I saw him.
Hood -- He has so much potential - his problem is he is afraid and plays scared -- if somehow he could get over his fear and play in control he could be a serious asset,
Cauley -- Wish I knew more on him -- a 6'11 - 7'0 skinny center but a solid offense gy around the rim with a decent mid range shot -- could be a nice 12-15 min guy as Noels back up.
We IMO WILL get either Bennett or Amile --- Bennett Starts right away at PF and allows Wiltjer to step into the Miller role and come in at 3 or 4 . We get Amile I think Wiljer starts at 4 and Amile plays the Miller role coming in at 3 or 4.
KATMAN -- we have shooters we are fine there we need rebounders or Noel needs coaching up as he could and likely will be a dominant rebounder by mid season.
We get Amile or Bennett we are a true title contender as again we will have the nations best athletes and talent -- w/o I think we our a team like 2011 and are still a contender but will need to get hot at the right time but still a true final 4 contender.
quit the handwrings we are in the best hands around. Cal is a younger better version of Tark ( who was also found innocent a year after being canned from UNLV - yet the dumbass Pez never even appologized ) Actually thats the team I most compare the 2012 UK too -- the 1990 UNLV team.
