I agree although neither of the Harrison twins are close to ready for the NBA. Andrew is a lot closer than Aaron but that's not saying much

Thank God the Harrison being projected to go undrafted plays point guard. Though he could also be talking about Ullis. Either way, I think there's just going to be too many top flight guards at UK for Malik.

Think you got them mixed up. Andrew is the point guard, but even he is mid to low second. Aaron is the shooting guard that can't really shoot. Also, even though they are buddies, Isaiah Briscoe, top PG and actual PG, joins the fray.

Yep, which means he will get solid minutes as the backup since Calipari loves him, and for good reason. Then Newman is left battling his friend Briscoe for starting PG duties, along with Harrison if he comes back

They're twins. Can't figure out which is which. All I know is both of em are overrated as hell.

I think Aaron has the most potential. He is number 2 and plays SG lol

If he goes to Kentucky, he primarily be a shooting guard. IF the twins leave he will be the 3rd option at PG. He may be a better overall player than Ulis and Briscoe but not a better PG.

I like assessment by one on the link that Newman is a "me me". That is exactly the type of player who Ben Howland will break done and build back up over 3 to 4 years to conform to his way of doing things.

I know this is a Kentucky article, but taking as much of the info as possible to assess whether or not Newman will be happy [or not being able to experience what he has, at least, expressed to desire] at Mississippi State.

That Jason Collins guy looks like a Bill Romanowski and John Rocker lovechild.

I also love his response to the question:

quote:

you wouldn't go to UK as a top guard if the twins, Ulis, and Booker all came back? Just saying


quote:

yes I would. I'd want to be on a team that will win a national title.


Typical douchebag bandwagon Kentucky fan.

And what's funny is Newman is one of the furthest from a "me me" recruit. A reason why no one really knows where he is going to wind up is because he doesn't want he media attention

Well, the kid doesn't even want to go to college, so I highly doubt he'll want to stay for 4 years.

ESPN has an article on Malik, but it's an Insider piece. If anyone who has an ESPN subscription could summarize the article or copy some the article it would be much appreciated.

Not even worth the time to copy the article. Basically just sounds like the guy needed to post an article to meet his quota.

Especially with lines like this:

quote:

The only question would be whether he has the ball in his hands enough with Ulis and Briscoe running the show. With that said, not having point guard responsibilities would allow Newman to show off his full scoring arsenal.


quote:

With that said, all three guys want the ball in their hands to create their own shot -- it would be up to Johnny Jones to keep things orderly.


This guy fails to realize that Newman wants to play PG primarily

Harrison Twins were projected lottery picks last year. They fell off pretty quickly
