The reason he was a bucket getter is this
Everytime he tried to drive he would get bumped off his line and pull up. He never got around his man but was great at mid range jump shot
Pierre to make commitment soon. Said it will be “wicked” (UK is Out)

He was definitely athletic but not on the level of Wall, Fox, Rose type Cal guard. He definitely was athletic enough though.
My sentiments exactly. He has an "it" factor.
The Wicked comment tells me it's Kansas.
Not saying we can’t but we still need a PF and there are other SG possibly for less NIL ALVARO will be easily 1.8-2 million
Not elite level. But still was pretty damn athletic. He got bumped alot, cause just like the nba career. Not strong enough. But he wasn't easy to guard when he was healthy.
That's what I disagree about. I say this because I watched a few condensed games last night of the 2011 season. He was faster and quicker than Harrison, SGA, HARROW, Briscoe, Ulis, Hagans, Askew lol, more explosive than the midget and Wagner. Go back and watch some of those games. If you still don't accept we can agree to disagree.

He was a tier below the absolute studs but a tier above those other guys for sure. SGA is deceptively fast because he is so smooth and uses change of pace more than just athleticism.
Per Sisk we are out on Pierre.

So if we miss on Lamar we will end up with some low level guy. Great.
Or, we kinda already have him and that's why pieces are shuffling. Who knows?
Book man this whole portal process should have taught you by now that the staff is 5 steps ahead of where we are currently
Hoping it means Wilkerson is considered a heavy UK lean. Would stink to miss on the trio if Yates/Pierre/Wilkerson.
I do think Jasper can fill that role if it came to it, just would like to add a known high level scorer at the 2
You can scroll thru each post on here and see we have a few that are actively hoping the worst happens.
That has nothing to do with athleticism
I have no idea what he did for Arkansas. Make or miss he could sure get there
He wasn't anywhere near as fast as the guys you mentioned. That was the first time Cal had to start bringing jorts up to set a pick for him
He was a great player he was just not a great athlete
IMO Knight was slighly above middle of the pack re quickness & athleticism among UK pgs under Cal. Below Fox, Wall and Ullis, but above Quickley, Briscoe, Green, Askew and the like.
Knight's athleticism and overall impact here tend to be underrated. He was a baller & clutch during March.

You talking about Knight? He might not have been the fastest or jumped the highest, but dude played at 195lbs and squatted 500. I would call that a great athlete.
Pierre might be back in play after Lewis decommit
Just sayin things are connected and Pope is orchestrating a roster

Pierre does not seem like the type of kid who wants to be a piece on a title contending roster. It seems like he wants to be a ball-dominant kingpin who takes 18 shots a game on a crappy ACC roster.
Brother that's crazy. And the reason Jorts set picks is because Knight was a combo guard, more of a two. Liggins would move to the point. I beg you to go watched some condensed games of 2011.
No it's not. It's the absolute truth. I remember it plain as day being a issue in 2011
What does jorts setting picks have anything to do with him being a combo guard. He wasn't fast enough to get around his man in cals offense in 2011. That's the bottom line. I have watched old games several times.He could barely dunk the ball bro. I would still take him over almost anyone.
Flat footed or not
