He's the master of drawing fouls. People cry about it but it's a skill. And he makes them pay, converting 23/26. One helluva player.
BUT YOU GOT THAT OFF TWITTEX!!!
Hope Pope is working to bring him around. SGA was always the type to beat to his own drum, he’s one that I really don’t think fits the bill of a guy that cares about where he played. Not a bad guy just a little weird and keeps to himself. Maybe wrong, I’d like to be wrong.
Also I’ll give Calipari credit on this one, while I hold my nose. He did a hella job evaluating SGA, he didn’t fit the mold and have the ranking he usually went for. And he actually benched one of his 5 stars to play him. Didn’t see that coming, however, it was obvious who the NBA player was going to be between them, so maybe it was by force that time.

Hard to watch the NBA anymore, damn near every game is in the 120s or higher scoring wise and each team takes around 40-50 threes, just a hard game to watch these days.
The only person that can keep SGA under 20 is Calipari.
Crazy good. Great to see the Pacers play well with Haliburton. Gonna be a tough year but maybe they can get a higher draft pick and really be set up next year to win it all again. They do need to sign a replacement for Turner though. Tough loss.
People fuss, but hey change the rules. I think great players find a way to get the advantage.
He was a decommit from Florida. I think Cal got him after the fact due to his connections with Canada recruiting. But it wasn’t because he saw something.BUT YOU GOT THAT OFF TWITTEX!!!

On the Netflix show he specifically mentions how Kentucky helped him prepare and he grew up as a man while there. Not saying he bleeds blue but he does seem appreciative of the experience not just a mercenary.
Interesting guy. Def not your typical doofus.
I chatted with him on few different occasions - he is unique but very smart and super nice. He’s thoughtful and I seems like he genuinely cares about what others are talking about. I watched him interact with others and that’s what I would say. Not weird, just introspective I guess, and aware.
This is right. He's clear about what he wants to do and has earned what he's gotten. He never gave up that starting spot when Quade went down. My daughter and I were at that Louisville breakout game. Fun memory to have now!
