The young Kentucky basketball team won its first SEC road game yesterday and a veteran seemed to find himself. Darius Milller played like many of us had expected him to play ever since he first put on the uniform. Of course he has been a pretender before, but none the less he showed what had made him Kentucky's Mr. Basketball and that was very good to see.
I had a question on my radio show on Friday, The Sports Huddle on ESPN Sports Radio 1300, about which of the current Cats, at this moment in time could make an NBA roster. Is Terrance Jones ready with his thundering dunks or is he still immature? Perhaps Brandon Knight, or could it be Darius Miller or DeAndre Liggins? I sat beside a scout for the Golden State Warriors and his assessment was that although several players from this current squad could one day be ready for the league at this moment only one could transition at this moment in time, and that player is DeAndre Liggins!
He said he played the kind of defense right now, and if he could make some drives to the basket, he could play for years in the NBA. This all remains to be seen, there is a lot of games to played in this season, but it is some food for thought.
