Ivisic
- Thread starter Mulder14
- Start date
The best part is that Cal is bringing in some versatile players. Ivisic is fluid; so is Bradshaw. Mitchell could become the best shooting frontcourt piece we've had since Sestina, and he's way more physical than Nate was. Thiero and Edwards give Calipari all sorts of elite defensive options on the wing.
The big question mark is going to be "who's your dogs dog?" I think Wagner fills that role, and quickly.
I think this is a legitimate point.
We now have 7 or 8 guys who will be drafted someday. That doesn't include Reeves and Mitchell, which means we'll have an insane amount of talent.
The biggest question mark at this point is this: do any of the freshmen possess the potential to become a transcendent player? Edwards? Wagner? If any of those guys becomes a top 5 pick, I'm predicting at least 30 wins. Cal's had seven seasons (dating back to UMass) where anytime he has a top 5 pick, he wins at least 32 games.
He's never won less than 32 games with a top 5 pick. He's batting 7/7 in that regard.

Shocked an NBA team didn't draft and stash this kid.
He can flat out play

Not sure after watching the Canada games that I'd call Mitchell "physical", but maybe your comment was strictly a comparison with Nate
Great news to see this morning, cal stepped up when our roster looked bad, now mitchell fell into his lap but he still had to do the work afterwards. The staff found players and has built a good roster than can compete
Jeff Goodman of course had to make a negative remark about him not being very good.Amazing.
Now if we can just get Swaggy Cal back on the sideline in place of Coach Cow......
i think you missed the sarcasmSure they did.....
If he committed to Kansas goodman would have said he is a all American caliber player

Dumb guy in the room... If he's cleared he should play this year correct? If he does I can see him going first round next year. He's no Cooper Flag but playing in a physical European league with those numbers he will have no issue finding his way in NCAA play..
wow, he good, we good,
probably means Ugo gets less minutes and hope he comes back. But might be pissed. But I will take 23 points a game and 10 rebounds against grown men any day.
Means Bradshaw probably plays some minutes at the 4. But Mitchell needs time there too. This did put more questions marks into minutes at the 4 and 5 and even 3.

If/when he is cleared to play the roster has taken shape very nicely. Still not a Cal fan but he and the staff deserve credit for how things have worked out(at this stage of the season) Much remains to be seen but October will be here soon. I hope everyone is good to go by that time. we seem to have more basketball players vs athletes than in recent years.

Love all the big options but if you're going to play on the perimeter, you're going to have to knock down shots or sprint back on D. Hope he's up to the task and GBB!
7'2 and averaged over 40% from 3pt range the year before last (he was playing with grown adult pros last year and hardly got any time but still shot from 3 well but just not 40% well like before) ...and the way he moves you can see in the vids... add in that teams will have to guard all the other studs on our team, I can see this kid not only proving he's a first rounder but maybe dominate some games.. at the very least he will force bigs to come out on him, meaning with him and Mitchell, Wagner , Dill, and Edwards would be able to drive at will.
Loaded with Ware and not this new dude. I think we upgraded. Would take this current set up 10/10.
Defenders can’t leave Reeves open neither…
This team looks to have the versatility to play any style conceivable. I hope Cal recognizes depth as a primary strength of this team and utilizes it to its full potential
If he doesn't get to play for UK, then he is not a Cat even if he's practiced with the guys at some point. Most of us here do not care about the NBA and who's "repping UK". We're UK basketball fans, first and foremost. I hope he makes his way here onto the roster.
Damnit...I'm starting to get excited again. I told myself I wouldn't do this to myself again, but I can't help it!
I think it's even more versatile than shown tbh. I could see 4 different guys at the 5 and the 1.
I'm not
