Starting fellow freshman DJ Wagner ahead of both of them still confuses me.

Hope Baker crushes it but foot injuries are brutal and you never know.

shimmy

Agree we don't know. They are brutal. But Baker says he's 100% and has no more chance of injury than any other player.

While true, most lottery picks are stars of their team. Guys like Holmgren,

This is definitely true.

The Y's Insider

I’m not too worried about Egor but Catchings may not be a dominant player

puntersarepeople

4:46pm

I agree. Even in his OTE games he played off the ball an awful lot.

kimdaddy35

4:47pm

Which is fine, we have enough guys who want the ball in their hands.

And you know what guys? This could just be the beginning.

Pope isn’t looking back. Kentucky always had his heart.

Nah. He gave his whole heart to BYU while he was here. Good luck to him there. We're obviously in good hands.

Jaxson Robinson made a big mistake leaving.

DirtyWater

4:27pm

Kentucky will be pretty good, he will be fine

JOPE

4:28pm

you would rather have had him stay then have KY?

oryguncoug

4:30pm

Not course not. KY wanted him to stay.

JOPE

4:31pm

disregard, some reason I was thinking you wished Pope would stay.

oryguncoug

4:32pm

Kentucky will be good? Based on what?

WJCougar

He loaded up in the portal.

LifeLongLakerFan

4:35pm

I actually don't think so. He will get more time at Kentucky.

kimdaddy35

4:29pm

At this point, I don’t know if he left or was forced out. I mean, I’m kidding.

blackandblue

4:29pm

I loved having him as a Coug. When he left I was annoyed because, if drafted, he would no longer be drafted as a Coug.

Thrill

You need to move Knell up the list. Even off the bench he will contribute

Plato

3:51pm

Knell will have an impact based on his 3 point shooting. I’d put Hall 2 or 3.

Hall will be number 1 as he has the most combined experience and talent
