The Harrison Twins are gone

[UKnation87]

Kentucky sophomore guards Andrew and Aaron Harrison will enter the NBA Draft and have decided upon representation, sources told RealGM.

Needless to say, I'm a little shocked because I really don't see these guys getting drafted unless it's 2nd round.

Very dumb decision. These guys will be lucky to be on an nba roster in 2 to 3 years

First of all, I would love to see these guys come back for another year and try to make one more run at a championship... That said, I don't disagree that they'll be lucky to maintain staying power in the NBA over a 4 or 5 year span.

But if you think about it, I'm really not sure they could help their stock by sticking around another year. Maybe some workouts and total focus on the game will help them move up the boards.

They probably figure Calipari is going to land every remaining Top 10 guard left, so their starting days are numbered anyway and their stock can only drop.

Just looked at my 2 mock draft sites. I will be stunned if both get drafted and whichever twin get drafted won't be selected until 50 or later

When your career fg% is at or below 40% that spells trouble for your NBA career, especially if you are a ball handling guard...

I would be shocked if both are actually on an nba roster opening night. One probably would be the 12th or 13th man

They should make a deal... whoever doesn't get drafted will be the stand-in for the other one.

They can split practice, game-time, and salary 50-50.

Not sure their minutes were written in stone for next year. UK loses some depth, but I am not sure the starting backcourt is worse from them leaving. That assumes Booker stays. I hope their decision to leave influences him to stay

Dumb, dumb move. They both probably go undrafted.

So this just wasn't good enough for the Which Kentucky players are gone thread?

Don't remember where I was reading this but I read something like it actually usually hurts a player to remain in college even if he has the same season or even better season as he did previously.

I was thinking the same thing. Reminds me of the old CBS days.

UK guy goes pro? Start a new thread on the general CBB board.
UK guy returns to school? Start a new thread on the general CBB board.
UK lands a new recruit? Start a new thread on the general CBB board.
UK loses a recruit? Start a new thread on the general CBB board.
UK player gets in a wreck? Start a new thread on the general CBB board.
UK player eats oatmeal for breakfast? Start a new thread on the general CBB board.

Most overrated set of twins since the Olson girls.

college game is very different from the nba most good and great guards were average in college

 

[UK Cowboy]

I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were required to respond to this post.

But don't act like you wouldn't take a 3 way with those gals

 

[Sgt Brutus]

I wasn't a big fan of the twins, UK will replace them probably with better players

I don't think any amount of time improves the odds for these two. Besides, didn't coach cal say he as going to build next year's team around Ullis? Maybe the writing was on the wall for these two and they were going to take a back seat to new talent coming in.
