As expencted, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Eric Norwood and Daniel Orton are all leaving Kentucky for the NBA. Evan Turner is also leaving Ohio State. Sort of like the running of the bulls at Pamplona. Get out of the way or you'll get stampeded.
Kyle Singler will come back for his final year and Duke will be AWESOME.
There are only 30 guaranteed contracts so if you are not a first round choice you have to make the team in summer league. And most teams only have 1 or 2 spots open.
They were a hell of a team and very special to watch-Wall should be a mega star in the NBA-
Thanks Rob! They brought "Showtime" back to Kentucky!
In their last game they proved to be more a collection of individuals, and that proved to be their demise.
Yeah, they picked a bad time to play like 18 year olds. Didn't happen really all year long until West Virginia.
ACC BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With some tutoring(all of them actually),Cousins is the one I 'expect' great things from.
Least likely would be Turner. His turnover stats preclude him from anything other than being a sixth man. In the words of the MAIN SPORTS BOARD MAN 'you can quote me'. LOL
O Great One-smile-While I like Cousins, he appears to be a bit of a knucklehead and undisciplined-The NBA quickly weeds out the undisciplined-but we'll see, Good Buddy-You can't teach speed and that, combined with his shooting and ball handling skills is why I think Wall will be a major star at the next level. Later, O Great Terrapin-1rob

ripping off The Coach and giving myself some leeway-grin.....OUT 8-)
Wall's dunk against Georgia at home late in the season was one of the best I've ever seen. A right hander, he took the ball almost the length of the court never touching it with his right hand and Travis Leslie, an amazing leaper, right on his ass. I thought he was gonna try to lay it in but instead took it up with his left hand and slammed it.
Here's the interesting thing about Big Cuzz. This is the first season he's EVER played with his back to the basket. In high school he always played facing the hoop. That being said, how good is this kid gonna get? Reminds me a lot of Moses Malone.
Who in the heck is Eric Norwood? He sure as hell doesn't play for Kentucky! LOL!
I knew who you meant John...I was just bustin your chops! Have a good one!
But you busted them in such a humane way (haha).....
