Kentucky lost again

[VolFreakJosh]

Momcilivic will get hype, and they'll land in most top 20s. But he's tissue soft, and let much smaller Bishop Boswell just bully him. He also isn't a very good defender and doesn't rebound. He is a spot up guy that was 3rd in the pecking order for Iowa State and generates most of his offense off spot up bombs. The odds of him shooting close to 50 percent from 3 again aren't great. He randomly improved by 10 percentage points as a junior last year. A return to normal is more likely. Him as your 6-7 million dollar centerpiece is a questionable move.

Pope probably had no choice but to pay him insane amount of money considering he whiffed on a lot of his targets in the portal and high school.

There’s a lot of intense pressure on him to make a deep run or else, their fanbase will ride him out of town, fast.

Agree completely, but what choice did Pope have? If he loses Momcilivic to Louisville, that lunatic fan base will have strung him up before the season even begins. The price is ludicrous for what is essentially no more than a spot up sniper, but it bought Pope until next spring unless that group melts down during the SEC season again.

His FT% is pretty good. I think banking on the 3PT% being 50% is not likely but I would expect 45%. I agree that he’s just a very good spot up shooter that Rick already found a good strategy against though

Yeah I wouldn’t worry much about a statue shooter .
