Great list! But, I would have to throw Darius Miller in there from Kentucky.

If played all year like he did against Tennessee then he would definitely be on there.

There is no way he is even close to the level of most of the freshmen in the country.

memphistiger · 02-28-2009, 03:26 PM

i like all these list with T.Evans at the top. i'll have to agree.

I think you have to look at this from a basketball point of view.NO WAY Darius Miller should even be mentioned in the same breath as the top 5 guys. All of these UK fans have to put their guys in on these threads. just cant accept the fact that UK basketball is not what it used to be!!! Welcome to the real world UK basketball has fallen from the ranks of the mighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lil Dog I agree, but he should have been more consistent with his play. At times he could have been. What is his average this year, because I thought he was #1 on UK list as freshman PPG or he was close.

beasy_bo · 03-19-2009, 08:55 PM

Evans should be at the top of everyone's list personally. since he's been at PG memphis hasn't lost a game nothing can beat perfection!

Put it this way, I'd rather have Miller than Samuels, but that's just me.

memphistiger · 03-20-2009, 04:01 AM

i think samuels is like the 6th best player on his team. he shouldnt even start. all he can do is dunk.

Great list minus Hopson. Hopson has been a hinderance much more than he has had a positive effect.

Hopson couldn't hold Terrico White's jock from Ole miss this year.
