Why do UK fans think if a player doesnt go there it hurts his draft stock?

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

how did Xavier suck?? He was 4th option on that KU team at best behind Sherron, Aldrich & the Morris twins...then you factor in Tyshawn & T-Rob...c'mon homie, try harder

but let's look at all the talent Cal has put in the league from "uk"...0 All-Stars, 0 contributors or stars that lead to a title, Knight (BUST), Orton (BUST), Terrence Jones (NBDL regular), D Cousins (nutcase who may never put it together), and countless others getting DNP...hell of system you got there in Lexington

Brandon Knight, Cousins, John Wall, Rajon Rondo, Patrick Patterson, Michael Kidd Gilchrist, Anthony Davis aren't contributors/stars? Are you telling me that John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis aren't the face of their respective franchises? Terrence Jones plays on a team with like 9 forwards.



I don't know why people get so butthurt about how many players Cal has put into the league. Oh I know why, we're taking all the recruits and you're

......

How about you address some points made? Everyone was claiming Shabazz to be the next Kobe. If he would have played under Cal he would've been the 2nd pick right behind Nerlens. It happens to Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd Gilchrist. But he took the less demanding route. Kentucky isn't for everyone.


Lets not shyt on anthony bennett tho (I saw someone did) kid is very talented and wish he could've been on our team, but there were some academic issues.

No, he would be better coached and more would be demanded of him. He wouldn't be jacking up fukking 14 shots a game. He'd be playing defense and playing TEAM basketball. Nerlens tore his fukking ACL and still is going ahead of him. What was that thread called again "The Shabazz Muhammad sweepstakes"? Now dude is projected as low as 8 in some drafts. Believe it or not, going to UK gets you to the NBA faster. We're about to lose poythress, goodwin, noel and willie cauley Someone like Patric Young or Jarnell Stokes would already be pro's if they played for KY.

You're an idiot if you think gm's and scouts draft players on where they went to college as opposed to looking at their strengths and weaknesses and how it translates to the pros

Wiggins could go to North Dakota St and hed be the first fukking pick,if you believe hell drop if he goes somehwee other then UK then you have serious issues

of course wiggins would, he's being heralded as the best recruit since Lebron

but I think we also need to be cautious of the talents of Julius Randle or Andrew Harrison. Both of which will be on my KY squad and I could see them as potential #1 picks. Wiggins still has to prove himself in College.

I cant wait til Randle commits

Players from ucla have gone on and done pretty damn well in the nba under Howland dude.

Not that i think hes a great coach but the point is its about the player and how his translates to the pros then who his college coach is,theyre completelty different games and if a player lacks a size or a skillset that translates to the pros like Shabazz it doesnt matter who his coach is

Cal would not give Shabazz a better dribble or make him more athletic the 2 reasons he wont go top 1 or 2

I understand that. Calipari gets people drafted who no one else can. Deandre Liggins, Josh Harrellson, Daniel Orton, Darius Miller. Willie Cauley wasn't even supposed to contribute this year according to most people. And he's about to be a first round draft pick.

fukk i gotta be made for hoe ass n*gga?? Knight, Patterson, & MGK contributors??? Knight will be lucky to have Kevin Ollie/Speedy Claxton's longevity in the league...and I'm saying that with a straight fukkin face.. Anthony Davis is only the face because Gordon is either injured or slummin it so he doesn't have to play in NOLA...Wall, Davis & Cousin are faces of their teams by default..they've been that since day 1 and their teams still haven't gotten any better....and we are talking about CALIPARI recruits so you can't throw Rondo into the conversation...Wall is inconsistent and more concerned about bottle service at Ibiza or Stadium than developing his fukkin game...Cousins has the talent but is bat shyt crazy...ok put them in the league is cool but what are they doing in the fukkin league you pos homer?? Why aren't you speaking up for Liggins, Orton, Harrelson, Teague, Lamb, etc...??? oh yea, that's right, y'all still trying to claim Kanter like Duke fans try to claim Kyrie... clown

All I care about is that Kentucky players are making money and providing for their families.

Kyrie went to Duke, they have a right to claim him. You seem to have a lot of hatred inside you friend. I don't know what has made you gone this demonic path but I suggest you get off it.

[Heelmatic]

we are right...look who should had came to UK and didn't and sucks now. Let's name a few if they came would had been stars...shabazz,josh Shelby,x henry,Barnes, C.J. Leslie and Bennett.

if you not with cal the nba wont mess with you

Yeah you right bruh. If Barnes went to UK he might be starting for a playoff team in the NBA right now, could've been freshman of the year in his conference, lead his team in scoring, been a top 10 pick, oh wait....

he wouldn't have been in college for 2 years under cal, and he might have went 1 in 2011

He could've left UNC after his Freshman year and been the #1 pick. I swear it's like a badge of honor for you UK nikkas that these kids can't stand to be there for more than a year. That all your school is is a pit stop for these kids. They don't care about Kentucky

Sometimes its better for kids to develop in college before jumping to the league as fast as they can. It has seemed to work out pretty well for Roy and UNC. He has key players and contributers on PLAYOFF teams all over the league.

 

[Rodgers]

funniest shyt is when that smart dumb nikka Rodgers said if Wiggins went to FSU he wouldn't get any exposure.

i said he wouldnt get nearly the amount if he goes to the other 3 schools and that is true...look who they have coming in and coming back to FSU next year...They are a sweet 16 team at best with Wiggins dominating

2 recent cases of this scenario were Beasely/Mayo...While neither are as good or had as much hype as Wiggins... they were on tv less and were not on the casual fans radar the way a guy like Durant was... Durant and Beasely were both in the same conference, but their exposure was not the same even though they were fairly close in terms of stats... Beas was a monster in college

It basically comes down to this UNC vs Viriginia is on espn primetime weeknight...FSU vs VA is on maybe ESPNU if Wiggins is there... Now if FSU had an amazing class or had guys coming back to compete for a title that would be one thing but they do not

 

[Rodgers]

Bazz's father sent him into a bad situation at UCLA...maybe they make a run in the tourney who knows...but he went to a team that was in turmoil, how many guys have left during the season...They slow it down and often times dont play to his strength...he wouldnt of been able to take trips on D off at UK, Cal wouldnt let em and neither would the fans , but who notices in a half empty gym, i guess only the nba scouts

 

[Rodgers]

Brandon knight is a bust? the 8th pick in the draft

I cant wait for 10 years from now to look back on the cal era
