Maybe the pep talk will focus Santi and get him ready for tournament play. But who knows. We definitely need him to step up.
If that’s the case then DK should be a top 10 pick. Sheppard isn’t a raw prospect - his age shouldn’t necessarily be a positive like most 19 yr olds are.I think #1 overall is a bit of a stretch, I agree. I think this is just a click-bait mock, but this is definitely a weak draft and Sheppard will likely go Top 10 because of it.
His size definitely is a bit concerning. But if you can shoot the 3 as well as he does that can make up for a lot of things, especially in the defense optional era of the NBA where the rules are designed to help the offense so playing defense isn’t as important.
I think we will see that Santi back before it’s all over. This week is the perfect opportunity.I miss the swagger that Santi used to play with. And it's not like he still can't do it, he was blowing kisses to UK fans in Rupp earlier this year. Maybe he should bleach his hair and start doing his arm bite celebration after a big 3.

These NBA scouts are smoking literal crack. #1????? I can barely get him behind him being a first round pick. Undersized combo guard with mediocre NBA athleticism. I don’t get it. Truly. I don’t.
I'm just going to hope this was the "bad game" for March and we don't see that garbage again.
I definetely think DK had some post season nerves or something, he was off big time. I think he'll play better the next game. Just hope he gets help or it may not matter.
2 seed and see where we land.
I want to believe that but sorry, experience has me very skeptical now. I'm more expecting the worst case scenario that we always are afraid of, the offense goes to hell and we don't show up.
Regardless of today or any other game this season, I will be 100% satisfied with just an Elite 8 appearance.
