Sk Future/ Temple Game
Obviously I think alot of people on this site think that SK will get a look at the NBA... I agree he may get a look. But I dont think he will make an NBA team. (Personally I think he would be a great fit with the spurs or the pacers but dont see it happening)...
The temple game had breakout game written all over it.. Came out firing away and making shots. Should have EASILY scored 30+ and didnt. I believe that he played himself out of a NBA contract in the last 13 minutes of that game. He became a no show. His glarring weakness (athleticism) shined brightly, he couldnt even get open to get the ball. Temple doesnt have a NBA guy on there team, regardless of how pressing they became, the fact that he put up 0 fgs in the final 13 minutes is all I needed to see. What could have become a staple game in his career, to me showed why he wont be a NBA guy. I hope I am very very wrong. SK has been one of the best embassaders for UC basketball. Will go down a scoring machine and will be greatly missed by the fans.

Just like last year though, SK struggled because of a lack of a big man. we saw it again last night. SK is a great shooter, but more than likely he needs to be set up. With no interior presence and the ball going around the arc there isnt much offense being created. And with a Box and 1 on defense Sk would have to beat 2-3 guys to get to the rim. SK had a great game last night |

I agree with the conclusion. Not sure about the thought process though.
I don't see SK making the NBA. He is small for a 2 guard in the NBA and lacks athleticism. His turnovers are down this year, but his handle still isn't impressive, so point guard is out of the question. And he isn't a dead eye shooter. What he does well won't translate against the freak athletes of the NBA unfortunately. I don't think yesterday has anything to do with that though. If SK was consistently as good of a shooter as he showed yesterday, he might have a better chance at the NBA. He also showed a nice post move and got the rim a few different times. He showed a lot of different skills. And when Temple decided to focus everything on him, the rest of our team torched Temple. Yesterday was the best our offense has played all year. SK played a huge part in that, first in scoring and then in opening things up for everyone else. That doesn't change the fact that he simply doesn't have the size or athleticism required at the NBA level. |

I think he'll get some camp invites and has an outside shot in the right situation. He'll make a lot of money overseas and one day will (imo) return and be on Micks staff. He loves being a Bearcat and will go down as one of the best ever. He's won I believe 93 games so far and has a very good chance of going over 100.

I think the point LL is trying to make is when Pepper was going nuts on the other side and Temple was coming back, that is when an NBA-type player would take over himself and go nuts. SK didn't. NBA players have to be able to score when the opposing team is locked in on stopping you. SK isn't that type of player. SK doesn't take over games. It seems an odd time to pick on him after dropping 29, but I don't really disagree with his point.
