You do realize there's hundreds of 6'7 kids across the country doing that, right? Why do you think the college game has gone to bigger guards? I realize a kid like TK is rare in the mountains, but outside of the mountains that isn't rare at all. Elijah Pittman and Donovan Gibbs both come to mind without thinking about anyone else.

Again, look at the competition he's doing this again. Look at how he's fared agaisnt the better big men over the past two years (Pittman, Barnhill, Setty) and you'll understand why I say he has some work to do before he can play ATLEAST mid major ball. He can definetly play low D1 but his defense would have to improve tremendously to be considered higher than that. Pittman abused him last year in the state tournament to the tune of 23 pts and 12 rbs while holding Tk to I think 10 points. Barnhill has had big offensive outputs everytime they've went up against one another.

Offensively, TK is very good agaisnt the weak teams you're mentioning. But against the better teams he's gone up against the past few years with athletic big men, he's struggled to defend them. And the fact that TK takes around 25 shots per game has a lot to do with him leading the state in scoring.



I said TK could play at the LOW D1 level...that's exactly what Murray, EKU, and Morehead are.

There's no comparison between Euton and T. Knipp. Euton is a much better outside shooter, stronger, better ball handler, and stronger in the paint. The only area that TK would get the nod is quickness and athleticism.. I do agree that Timmy has a lot of upside but you have to realize in college he won't be going against 6'1-6'4 kids. He'll be checked by a 6'6-6'7 kid with just as much quickness and athleticism. HE won't create as many mis-matches as you say. Playing weak teams like Rowan Co and playing against D1 caliber teams/players are two completely different levels. Look at how Tk fared against Pittman last year. Those are the types of players he'll see every night in college.




5'10 Blake Bryan- Villa Madonna
5'11 Thomas Jackson- J'town
6'0 Jaylen Beckham- Lexcath
6'1 Delquan Thomas- Eastern
6'1 Ian Chiles- Ballard
6'1 Devante Parker- Ballard
6'2 Aaron Nance- Seneca
6'1 Jaleel Gray- Holmes
6'1 Chris Hayes- Holmes

Heck, Holmes has a 5'9 guard (Jaydale Herndon) that rose up and threw one down this year. Do I need to continue? Dunking is nice, but it's not as rare as some of you EKY folks are making it sound.

I was just talking about Kentucky when i was referring to how many 6'7'' kids do you see that have those kinds of skills because you've got UK, Louisville, Western Kentucky, EKU, Morehead State, and Murray State who are all D1 schools and NKU will be D1 in the next year or two and a kid from Kentucky with those kind of skills and attributes a great chance of going to any these schools!

As far as these small guards going through heavy traffic and throwing it down on a one step jump, I would really have to see it to believe it! Because you very rarely see it happen in college and not much in the NBA either so i highly doubt that central kentucky is a breeding ground for freakish athletes!
