The only two to log over 30 minutes were Knight and Prince. Davis played 29, Big Cuz 25, and Bledsoe only 17. Kanter only logged 14 minutes. Pretty impressive stat lines period, but pretty impressive for the guys who didn't log a ton of PT. Give Cousins another 5-7 minutes and he's likely at 21 & 10+. Davis and Bledsoe would have had better numbers as well with extra time.
This is a very exciting time in the NBA for former Cats and UK fans. Hopefully Louisville can draw a NBA team or get an expansion team in the next couple of years. It would be awesome to have a few of those guys on a team in Kentucky.

You forgot Miller. He hit his first 3 attempt vs San Antonio.
Keep Calm & Stoops On..

Ha, he did. I can't believe I didn't catch that as I saw it. It was a beauty. He played an overall good game in the minutes he played. I think he will become a valuable weapon off the bench once he becomes more acclimated to the pro game.

Any reason Terrance didn't play and that P-Pat wasn't even listed in the box score as a DNP?

Thought Davis should have played even more. Team kept getting ball to Lopez. Davis could have had 30.

Patterson was out with a strained left quad. Missed the final 2 preseason games.

I know, Wildmoon and I were wondering why he wasn't in the game for awhile at the end of the 3rd quarter and beginning of the 4th. Was a really poor personnel decision IMO.

I'm still fuming. LOL I have no understanding of this logic of not playing a 19 year old.
I agree about Teague. In fact, with Teague this team would have major favorite for National Title.
Also, being the LEADER of a national championship team = skyrocketing in draft.

I also think Bledsoe should leave Clipper after this year.
It's time for him to his team. (Maybe NO hornets can get him. :-D)
