they're probably costing themselves millions... seems like every time someone decides to stay in school, it ends up costing them draft stock.


They're projected to go in the back end of the first round at best. They have more to gain than to lose.

Sheeeet, they're gonna be packing it in tight on the team bus. They will have McDonald's all Americans as equipment managers.

Devin Booker is arguably the best shooter in this entire incoming freshman class. Karl Towns and Trey Lyles can both play stretch 4 and knock down 3's. Ullis can knock down 3's.

Unlike Cal's recent recruiting classes that overpower you with their athleticism, this crop is extremely skilled.

Throw that in with both the Harrison's who can shoot. Poythress was a good shooter his freshman year.

The Harrisons were still low to mid 30% three point shooters.. nothing great at all.

Demarcus Cousins was/is much more skilled than any of these big guys coming in, but I agree they are more polished than a Poythress or WCS coming in.

I have trouble believing that. No one is going to Kentucky to sit on the bench and cheer the team on and gradually get minutes, besides Hawkins and Willis.

All these freshmen will get some sort of minutes, and will certainly start as sophomores. No different than most freshmen. It's not like any of these guys are on Randle or Wall's level (which isn't meant to diminish their abilities).

Really, the only guys that may not get a lot of minutes will be in the post depending on who emerges. And even at that I wouldn't be surprised to see some guys at that 3/4 spot just to open up their game. We were going to be thin at guard without the Twins so they'll all get time.

And as RTR said, whether you have trouble believing it or not, from all accounts they're on board with it.

Karl Towns is projected around the same area Randle is
