I haven’t watched a whole lot of UK. Can he hit a shot outside 10 feet?

If not, the best he will be is a guy like Ben Wallace, which won’t get you drafted in the top 5-10. Certainly a place for it on a roster, but most want to draft someone who has some semblance of an offensive game.

Adding that 17' shot has been something that has allowed him more room to operate in the paint. He didn't have it at WVU.

Yes, I have been critical of him and tip my cap to his recent performance. It doesn't mean that he didn't deserve some of that criticism. I think JJJ biggest issue has been between his ears. He seems to have a different mentality recently and it shows.

Some of that criticism was warranted, and still is, but the unwarranted nonsense surrounded the idea that 5*=instant star.

I thought our paint and rim defense was outstanding today too. Can’t remember our D having that many blocked shots at the rim in a game lately. Really causes hesitation for driving to the hole when they see shots rejected. I must say…ZZ is listed at 5’9” but in person he looks shorter than that to me. Don’t care how tall he is …he’s a hand full…and so fun to watch. I remember at the live scrimmage earlier this season watching he and KC go at was so much fun.

Of course, I started a new patient a few years ago that played college ball; she said she was 6'0." I said, "but the roster says you are 6'2" right." She said, "yes you are correct."

Absent an SECT meeting, Vols have seen the last of Martin and the Vols did their part over his tenure to get him fired. LOL.

Are you talking about "Our Heavenly Father" or me on a Saturday night after UT blows out SC and I've smoked a little of the wacko-baco ?

Our Heavenly Father.

I considered clarifying before posting… understanding there may be some confusion!

He’s very limited offensively. Not much skill and not a natural athlete either. He plays extremely hard and knows how to get position for rebounds. He’s great to have on a college team. But in the NBA there will be taller, stronger better athletes that will limit what he does best (rebounding) and he doesn’t offer much of anything else.

I watched the Alabama - Kentucky Game last night and noticed that Tshiebwe spends a lot of time in the Paint on offense. Maybe I need a rule clarification, but he spends more than three seconds and to my understanding, it only takes one foot to do it.

If the player has the ball is it different on the 3-second count because he pivoted at one time for 4 seconds before shooting....had to rewind to verify... ?

Hardly gets called against him so he keeps doing it

I would love to see him get called for it two times in the first 10 minutes of a game. I think it would junk up his head for the next 30 minutes and Calipari would come unglued in the process.
