I agree. I think all 4 are gone if not more. I guess my question should have been how well do u think the fare at the next level?

Compare them to other UK players if you like.

For example - if the choice was Jamal Murray, Booker, or Monk - who will be the best Pro. Honestly I would rank Monk as Caliparis 3rd best shooting guard at best. Fox is pretty dang close to John Wall at this age, maybe even a better shooter. Bam- not even in Cals top 5 bigs since Cal has been at UK. Briscoe- just a good hard nosed college player.

Gone, gone, gone, and gone...

I believe its safe to say that Monk and Fox are lottery picks. Briscoe just wants to be a pro and I don't see him sticking around, although he won't be drafted (in my opinion). Bam is the most interesting of the 4 because he has the talent to hit the 18ft jumper, he can guard multiple positions with more work on that end and is obviously a freakish athlete.

That all said, he's projecting as a high 2nd round pick or last pick in the 1st round... He "could use" another year of college but I don't see him staying around.

Now the real questions turns to who else is leaving due to transfer?

Yes I agree. Humphries and SKJ both expressed that were going to go over their options. Gabriel, the pro scouts love, I just don't see it yet. The enigma to me is Wynard. I know he is a mop up player but the guy was a 4 and 5 star recruit. All I ever read is how he dominates in practice. Diallo is another one that I expect huge things from next yr.

None of them strike me as NBA All-stars, but I think Fox has the best chance to be that. Monk is a very impressive scorer, but the NBA is filled with guys who can light it up. Monta Ellis, etc.

Fox and Monk will be stars, Bam a bust, Briscoe will be in Europe. All gone, great class coming in, it's what it is

Monk is so athletic. He still is tremendously raw. He has a great 18ft jumpshot. His 3 point percentage is pretty deceiving. He is so streaky. It's hard to imagine him not being a really good player in the NBA because he definitely has ability. He has a lot of work to do though. Fox- to me is a can't miss. I think he will be a star. He has all the shots- jumper , floaters, layups. He improved on his 3s. The only thing I see that I question is his ball handling and that may be because he is just so fast. It's almost like the ball doesn't go with him sometimes

Fox will be the best PG in the NBA in a few years

Bam, Monk and Fox are all gone, as they should be. Monk and Fox are top 10 picks and Bam will be a 1st rounder. Briscoe has very little pro potential, so I don't know what he does. I don't think he's all that good tbh. If Briscoe does leave the top 7 scorers will be gone. Plus while UK has the #1 class coming in, I don't think they have a difference maker like AD, MKG, KAT, JW, DC. I think they'll end up being something like a 5/6 seed or so next season.

Great class coming in - hopefully he gets Bamba or Knox with it. I worry about the lack of upper class men next yr.

If Fox develops more of a jumper he could be really good

Monk is what he is. Elite scorer. Not much else.

Other two are NBA bums

No matter what happens with the draft, I thought this years UK team played well. :yo:


Yes they did. They got off to such a great start then kind of hit a bump. It was funny all year they would play a commercial with Dick Vitale saying " Run Baby Run" as he was describing UK. Then the last two games UK was actually slowing it down running set offenses. They went from an AAU type team that nobody was ready for early. Teams learned how to defend them. They transformed into a good defensive team that could play both fast or slow.

I don't know about the best, but one of the best maybe.

He could also be the next coming of Darren Collison.

I also think there's lots of guys in the NBA who can put up numbers on crappy teams but it's about who can be one of the three best players on a team that can win a title.

Like I said ... Monta Ellis. He's a really good player. He just doesn't really help you win a title.

I'm interested to see what the Lakers do if they have a chance to draft Ball or Fultz. They still have D. Russell.
