Rough freshman season or not, MAL should be here and we're going to wish he was here next season.

Who's going to be the primary ball handler? Akinjo or Vital?

Anderson is gone. Adams is gone. Gilbert hasn't shown he can play more than 5 games and will have missed two seasons.

No again with weak crap.

In the scheme of all the flaws in AA's game making bad decisions is about last on the list. . That is the only thing he isnt (besides defensive effort) consistently bad at.

You are really flailing here. Try again.

Oh yeah I agree Mick, no doubt because I explained why it was a good thread despite your thoughts. And he didn't bash a kid he mentioned some numbers and facts so you were once again wrong. And again, it was okay for people, you included I am sure, to BASH Ollie (hell you still do all the time) when he lost him. Mick you're so wrong here give it up. please you look stupid and I know you're not.

Ollie is a grown man who gets paid to be in the public eye. MAL is a kid who's not getting paid and the only reason people are talking about him is because he decided not to come here. You know better so stop playing dumb and pretending the two situations are anything alike

But we can agree he sucks and wasnt the answer to our problems THIS year.

Down the road I expect him to improve.

Maybe KO would have coached him up?

No?

Why are you walking away?

 

[August_West]

You should just quit now. This is already very embarrassing for you.

My biggest gripe with KO has always been player development. Followed by game management . Neither of those wouldve helped the disaster that is MAL this season

 

[methodology]

meanwhile Kentucky fans are all over diallo and believe he should be benched, he's selfish, doesn't let game come to him, and thinks he's better than he really is

MAL was over 18 when he sign the LOI. Stop blaming age as an excuse

You can't spell and you can't read. Shocking

BTW, I keep my eyes on David Duke during the Cushing n Brewster game at Hoophall. Duke stunk it up. HE is a very good athlete and defender. The issue is that he can't shoot, dribble or pass. You can get away with being a great athlete if u do either of these things. The fact that he can't do it tell me that he is overrated

MAL has a lot going for him apart from the shooting. We've had point guards who couldn't shoot but helped us -- KO and Taliek to name two. It's far from ideal but it can work.

I think the difference between MAL on the one hand and KO and Taliek on the other is that they were fast and MAL relies on strength, which doesn't translate as well from high school to higher levels where everyone is strong. But, MAL would be a good "big guard" to complement Akinjo and Gilbert when we need a distributor with size for defensive and end of game purposes.

Overall, if MAL would have cost us Akinjo, I'm glad we got Akinjo, but MAL is better than the likes of Anderson, and ultimately KO has to figure out how to build a complete roster. The Garrison comparison to Anderson is good, the difference is Garrison was 3rd point guard and 5th guard, Anderson was 2nd point guard and 4th guard and there was no 5th guard or 3rd point.

Makai in the long run should be better than Anderson. But right now they’re both equally unimpressive

Whats up with this unnecessary hate

He abandoned the program at the last moment. How would u feel if your bride left u at the alter n hook with with the best man. To the hell with the love.

do u have a job or a life?

No I am a street beggar. I'm posting from a Starbucks and I'll sleep under the bridge later

 

[August_West]

He's a well known art appraiser

 

[August_West]

It's pretty much last on his list of flaws. But by all means keep embarrassing yourself

 

[AntG168]

Why are people so sure MAL will get so much better? Some guys never learn to shoot......ever. And as long as he can’t shoot I won’t miss him we can do better or just as good.

This thread is bizarre. We are in absolutely no position to throw shade an literally anyone.
