Completely disagree. Only thing Miller has on Gilchrist is shooting and experience. Gilchrist is better in every other aspect of the game. He's aggressive, a player maker, a excellent passer, and does all the little things. Darius is still the same Darius he was when he was a freshman, but he can shoot much better. He's still rarely aggressive. He has almost as much talent as Gilchrist, but it'll never be reach because he is too laid back on the court.
Now I love Darius as much as I love all the UK players, so don't think I hate him for some odd reason. Darius should start, Gilchrist be the spark off the bench, and get starters minutes.

You're watching a different team than I am then. Haven't seen Gilchrist
making any plays other than his OWN as of yet. He did get caught in the
air and see Davis who bailed him out. He's shown no particular propensity
as a passer, and while he's done a very good job as a one on one defender,
he certainly isn't catching the whole floor like Miller does yet.

I fully expect Gilchrist to end up as a better all around defender.
He's probably already a better rebounder, and may develop into a better passer, and has the potential to be a far better all around player.
But right now, you're just letting his greater athleticism blind you
to the reality that Miller is a better player, FOR NOW, in most
respects. And while Darius is never going to be confused for
"aggressive", to say he's the same player he was as a freshman
is ASSININE. Over the latter half of last season, Darius became
exactly what that team (and now this) needed. A player
who understands his role, and does what is NEEDED from
him, and not more. He gets KEY rebounds. He blocks
shots on help D, he gets rebounds when things are getting tight,
and he slips inside for his shot when we need a bucket,
or drains a big 3.

I don't know what's keeping you guys from seeing this,
but Darius was the KEY to our FF run last year. And
he was the KEY to the second half turnaround against
Kansas.UK fans should be tickled TO DEATH we have this
guy, as his talents and willinginess to play his role,
are JUST what this team of super talent needs to
mesh it together.
