Most of you will have no idea who Kenny 'Sky' Walker is (top 5 all time Kentucky player) but he gave a great quote yesterday.

He lives around the UK bb program.. every practice, every game, guest spots on tv and radio.. NOT known for hyperbole.

Yesterday after a practice he said Julius Randle is the most talented player Kentucky has had since Shawn Kemp.

Aside from the jokes some of you are conjuring right now... that's some mighty high praise.

Wtf did Shawn Kemp go to Kentucky???

You mean walker with the high top fade?

Yes and Yes

I was 98% sure Kemp came straight out of high school or went it to a JUCO or something. I swear I've never ever heard anything about him going to UK

Kemp signed a nat'l LOI to play for UK. Enrolled in classes but promptly left after getting caught pawning some jewelry he stole from his roommate/teammate.

So, yeah.. he went to UK.
So, yeah.. he never played.

Customary Kentucky players getting paid joke. That is all.

Hey PKM, is this Randle guy for real? Or does he just want to get paid? It's getting harder and harder to tell these days....


You can PM me your answer if you feel uncomfortable answering this frankly on here.

Some guys are real AND want to get paid. Me, for example.

This randle dude is growing on me...

Would a Kanter & Randle front court be good enough defensively ??? (in case we trade away Favors)

You have to look at it all relative to the offense gained. Boozer/Okur were among the worse defending big men in the NBA and still good enough to get to the WCF along with many 50+ win seasons because, along with Deron, they were a great offensive machine. If Kanter can develop a three point shot close to Okur, and be better in every other area, safe to say Randle can could match Boozer's production, it could work out very well. Obviously filling Deron's talent would be done by committee, but whatever piece netted from Favors would be able to narrow that gap.

Some good points here.


Guys - do you think we can trade Favors for Randle? Would any team do that deal?

And I would take Julius/Enes over Boozer/Okur, defensively, 7 days a week.
