Good for him and all, of course, but I can't think of many guys I'd want to get another season from... and I thought we would for a long time. So smart and shifty and pure. Damn.

And having his jumper mixed in with these guys.....Dayum!!Good for him and all, of course, but I can't think of many guys I'd want to get another season from... and I thought we would for a long time. So smart and shifty and pure. Damn.
U ain't kidding!! I miss Luke!Good for him and all, of course, but I can't think of many guys I'd want to get another season from... and I thought we would for a long time. So smart and shifty and pure. Damn.
And both will have long NBA careers: Brotherhood.Yea, if you get 4 years of Luke, a lot of stuff JJ did would seem timid.
JJ will never make it in the NBA, yet he is still going strong. And hanstraveler?...........Yea, if you get 4 years of Luke, a lot of stuff JJ did would seem timid.
Shocked we had him only 2 years. Thought we would be blessed to have him as a 3-4 year guy. Could have made a run at some records if he stuck around longer. Considering the top players only stay a year or 2, he was one of our last hopes of breaking some records, until the rule changes.
He had to strike while the iron was hot. Still couldn't believe he went in the lottery in a stacked draft. What a testament to his work ethic after his freshman season.
Love the new avartar OAD!I agree, not much chance of improving on that.

Kennard was one of the best scorers I've seen and with everything that happened last year, it's good that he did what he did offensively.
I'm not trying to be negative on him but as good as he could put the ball in the hoop, I never got the feeling that he makes others better. Maybe it was that he was so bad defensively. When I watch Grayson, it seems to me that he is more team oriented.
I didn't say he was selfish, but I still don't think what he completely brings to the table makes others around him better. I know my opinion is not popular, and by no means meant as a disrespect to him, just think that if you compare as a whole what Allen brings to the table vs Kennard, yes he's a better scorer than Allen, but if I had to pick between the two I'll take Allen 8 days a week. I think the overall game of others will be lifted more from Allen than Kennard.I have to disagree with this sentiment. Not because Luke was some savant point guard (though he was a really good passer), but he was so damn efficient. Everyone can get their shots with Luke on a team because he doesn't need 20 touches to score 20. He was a willing passer, wasn't a black hole, and because of that, IMO he was a great teammate to play with.

Agree 100%.... I do think Allen creates more for those around him, but would I like to have Luke back this year? HELL YES!!IMO while Luke may have been a defensive liability, his performance at the other end of the court MORE THAN OFFSET any defensive deficiencies.He carried us much of the 4 game grueling stretch in the ACC Tourney, and despite the disappointments of last year, he had a major defining moment: the 3 pointer at Wake Forest may have saved us from real disaster. I think if he misses, and we lose that game- we probably lose at Notre Dame two days later. He's also a HECKUVA student-athlete who I am sure will complete his degree despite early entry.
I see the earlier point Mac made about maybe Grayson has "the better overall game," but I can't discount Luke's contributions last year. Without them I think we're dead in the water. I wish him well.
I do think however Grayson brings an incredible "verve" as K likes to say. He can score, distribute and when healthy his D can be stifling at times like the stretch against Wisc his freshman year.Another great student-athlete as well. I think he's primed to lead this team!!I love both those guys!

The girl is a 20-year-old that sent out a press release for breaking up with her boyfriend of only four months. That tells a lot.
This is a great thread which honors a great player but I'm sad a lot of our guys left. OFC
