He has the size and skills to really contribute this year.. next year will be his big year though.
That didn't stop Kyle Wiltjer from becoming an All-American or Bryce Hopkins from becoming All-Big East.
He has his strengths and weaknesses for sure, he ran the point well. He can shoot and he made a couple inside ,ones that surprised me. He will always probably be a liability on defense and his size is a factor.
Exactly, he has the size to be a good player. Definitely liked what he showed in the exhibition but let’s not anoint him an AA yet. I think he will be a good player of his career here and will represent us in the best way. It’s always great having talented kids who grew up loving UK and dreaming of playing here and winning a ship.
Just so everyone knows it’s KRIISA. I even started making the mistake of Krissa but it’s not that.
So maybe the "Calipari hates Kentucky kids" theory is just a fallacy, and Dontaie is just not as good as you hoped he would be.
I can't pronounce "II" so I'm just going to call him Jamal.
Depends on where you are... with the thick draw that some of my family has, even if they are TRYING to say it as you phonetically spelled it, it may still sound like "Kraysa"
I think Noah will be fine, most freshmen that come here don't know how to play defense. Most of our 5 star players we had the last several years had all of the athletic ability and quickness you need and still couldn't guard anybody. He will only get better as time goes by.
I've got to watch the game again but I was really impressed with how he guarded his man. Might be he can play enough defense to see good minutes when the games start to count.
Noah is a pretty strong and physical player as a freshman already, and we know that maturity and physical development should enhance that quite a bit more. I believe that physicality can help him tremendously on defense against guys that are a little quicker. I also think Noah would be fine at 2G, but I really like his potential at SF due to his physicality - and, of course, he shoots it well too already.
I know Perry didn’t play as much last night, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the willingness and effort all three freshman have had on the defensive side. If Pope can get that kind of effort on the defensive side of the ball from each freshman class, he is going to kill it here. We are gonna score, I think it is going to come down to can we defend enough this year and in the future.
Love Noah's potential. He's gonna be a dandy. I did notice he missed a couple box outs in the Minnesota State game, which is ok. He will learn to be better considering he hasn't played a much against college talent. Rebounding will certainly be key for us going forward. We will get much better!!
Well, Wally was also an All-American as a senior, averaging 24 ppg and leading his team to the Sweet Sixteen. That ain't bad...
People have been saying things like this, but he does good things and his mistakes have come from trying too much.
Can we please let the kid play and just enjoy the games. He will face ups and downs, just like every other player on the team. No one knows what 3.5 years more will bring for him. So just let the kids play. Critique the games and not their future.
Pelphrey, Feldhouse, and Farmer were not nba prospects either but they are part of one of the most enjoyable seasons ever
