Trey Lyles

How does Trey feel today?

Karl Townes
WC Stein returning
Dakari Johnson likely returning
Marcus Lee
Trey Lyles
Alex Poythress

6 guys for 2 spots. Even if one more goes pro, Lyles is definitely looking like a backup. Townes and WCS start IMO. Johnson ahead of him too. Lol. Bad choice Trey!

Wait WCS said he is coming back?

Yep, it's on ESPN. I was hoping they'd have a lot of defections, but it looks like their core is going to stay intact and they'll be one of the frontrunners to win it all next year. Makes me sick.

That's a great problem to have for Calipari but it'll be interesting to see how he manages all that.

Hell randle hasn't declared yet even thought he probably will.

[KingPG21 6,587]

If Dakari comes back wouldn't you assume he'd start over Townes? Honestly don't know much about Townes's game to really make an educated statement on him. But Johnson was playing well to end the year

Maybe but Townes is the real deal. Better player than Dakari in my mind. Townes has WCS height with better ball skills. I am not sure that Marcus Lee isn't ahead of Lyles too. More athleticism for sure, less ball skills. Great problem for UK. Tough deal for Lyles which I love. We really could have used Lyles BIG time at the 4 with spot duty at the 5.

We could use anyone who is 6'8"+, can protect the paint and rebound the ball without getting in the way of our guards offensively. Too bad we're seeming to struggle to get one of those

One of those guys has to know he'll rarely play, right? It just doesn't make any sense to me at all why that many highly ranked players competing for the same position would be ok with going there to sit on the bench. 

 

 

In the ESPN article I referenced earlier, there was a UK fan saying he heard Johnson could transfer.

It should be interesting if Young and the Harrisons go. The would have a backlog of big men but only a few guards.

Lyles will play, he is too good to keep off the court.  The one and done freshmans always beat out the guys who stay multiple years for UK.  If he doesn't start, he will by the tournament when it really counts.

I see your point but I don't think he starts. 10-20 minutes max IMO. If Dakari bolts that will help a lot but it doesn't appear he will. Townes is better and I think WCS is better. Dakari is nearly equal or better. Lee is different but may challenge for minutes. This could get interesting. Something will give probably but as of now Trey and his father can't be too happy.

Dakari Johnson to IU (sarcasm)

Sarcasm meaning "not happening" right? I'm pretty sure I would take him at this point.

Haha I would absolutely take him in a split second. I meant he will never come here

If I were Marcus Lee, I'd get on out of there...

You know, he might consider us if he transferred. We were pretty interested in him if I remember correctly.

I would take legitimately anyone on the OP. Can Kentucky still block a transfer to us even though we aren't in their conference?

Haha I wouldn't be mad... But for his own sake, he barely played for most of the season this year, and they're only adding more depth in the front court. Run, Marcus, run!

Lee might not have played much for a lot of the season, but he sure made some plays for them in the tournament.
