Lamont Butler

[LXWildcat]

Was the player the coaching staff visited

 

[track42]

Man.Kid can't shoot or hit free throws.

 

[JPFisher]

What does the staff see in this kid? Depth?

 

[LXWildcat]

Man.Kid can't shoot or hit free throws.

Yeah idk why they all had to go to visit Butler lol

 

[ScottGreene22]

I bet KY and staff are out to see more then just one kid

 

[RunninRichie]

Good news just keeps flowing in!

 

[CatPatrick13]

Head scratcher for sure

 

[University-6]

 

[OneOfTheLiberalElite]

hmm

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

He is a cat apparently

 

[senonesy]

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

 

[kywildcat1021979]

According to Matt Jones he’s committed….

 

[bookerfan66]

Surely this is a Saunders like player off the bench?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

You snipped me, but butler is a good get

 

[RunninRichie]

8ppg 34 percent from three, 73 percent from the line. 42 percent from the field. How is this guy on defense? Is he at least a lockdown perimeter defender?

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

30% three point shooter. avg 8pt a game

 

[bookerfan66]

You snipped me, but butler is a good get

Really?30% from 3 and 59% free throws for a guard?

 

[Dreklie]

Bench piece for sure, gotta grab bodies at this point. If we rely on him to be a heavy contributor we may be in trouble.

 

[JPFisher]

I am totally willing to change my tune, but this is my gut reaction.

 

[LXWildcat]

This came out of nowhere

That’s his calling card…lockdown defender.

We better be surrounding him with shooters tho. Not the biggest threat on O.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

He is a winner, and a really good defender and floor general, Kentucky could do a lot worse

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

Going to need more sunshine pumped my way for me to get excited about this addition. Unless he's depth, I don't see it. And I doubt he's depth if the whole crew jumped on a plane at a moment's notice to go see him across the country.

Not only that, but it sure seems like that sends a message we don't feel good or already missed on bigger targets.

 

[OneOfTheLiberalElite]

I hope he plays great D...

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

He will be the starting PG

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

this better be a bench piece or UK Is in trouble

I’ve heard he is a great defender. He had a lot of steals. If you look at his individual games he has a lot of great games and a lot of not great ones. So he’s streaky.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Seems like a bench piece.

 

[RunninRichie]

He will be the starting PG

15 wins

Well we are in for a long season.

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

And we could do alot better. Jmo but it isn't at all a good sign that our entire crew jumped on a plane that quick to go see this guy.

30% three point shooter. avg 8pt a game

He’s not shooter, but he’s a superb defensive player and solid at everything else. He was an integral part of their 23 final four team.

This is a very good get.

 

[CKKKK]

He was the MW Defensive Player of the Year this year as a guard.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Role player/defender who will come off the bench.

Hit the last second shot to beat FAU in Final 4.

I’ll take that experience any day of the week!

 

[BassProCat]

Well with him and Williams we are off to a hot start on the defensive end.

 

[bookerfan66]

He’s not shooter, but he’s a superb defensive player and solid at everything else. He was an integral part of their 23 final four team.

This is a very good get.

Not for a starter.

 

[trueblujr]

He hit the game winner over FAU to send San Diego St. to the title game two years ago. Mountain West Defensive player of the year. He's a take. Grad transfer.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

15 wins

Not attacking you, but a lot of you all are upset players aren’t coming here, then a DPOY and a final four PG, who is a good floor general comes here and it’s not good enough
