At 20 years old RJ looks like the elite slashing big SG we saw at Duke. He looks awesome. I dont not want him at SF, his ability to play SG at 6'6 215 with great defense and high athleticism is a huge positional advantage. His ability to handle the ball and start the offense at times only helps if playing next to a scorer like Quick. Lots of teams are starting small back courts like Garland/Sexton or FVV/Lowry, Murray/Harris.. to name a few. Going big AND being fast/athletic is the NBA way to win
Mitch played so well Thibs was impressed
When you look at yearly talent that goes through Kentucky we picked the right college team to pair up with. Quickley belongs and the level of confidence Knox is showing on both ends is great.
GREAT to see Bullock have a good game. He doesnt get much love around here (Uptown ). Of all our vets I think he's the best. He plays great D, his shot is good and he does a ton of little things that help on the floor. He's a high IQ player and a really good guy who's been through some ****. I hope he sticks but I suspect he's got a great chance to land us another late FRP at the deadline when some team needs him for a push.
Randle was a ball mover. He whipped alot of passes around to find open guys. The 8 assists were great but there were some equally nice hockey assists as well.
LOL....I give Thibs and Quick all the credit for making him look like he belonged in the NBA...But seriously, Bullock has always been a decent rotational player, he's just looked like sh** since he's been here. You make a good point about the loss of his sister last year which was terrible. I'm sure that had an affect on him last year. With that said, he's a guy that will play well as long as his in a good system and or playing alongside good players who will make the game easier for him.
Quickley's playmaking ability and range opened up the floor for him and the others...It's amazing how an actual PG who can shoot can open up the floor and make the game easier for everyone....
