Just want to say, I think Fouss might be the best player on our team.

His performance in the tourney left a bad taste in a lot of fans' mouths

Fouss is not a rim runner that KY primarily runs in his offense from the 5 spot.

I hear "rim runner" a lot now. What does that mean? I know what a rum runner is

Think AAA - is a lob threat, super athletic, gets down the court quick and posts

Fast to the rim off screens and the pick and roll

I’m sure you do….know a thing or two about running Rum…

His skill set doesn't fit in the modern game. Back to the basket scorers have a place but in a modern NBA style offense

I love Fouss, but Barkley comparison is a streeeeeetch. Needs to acquire a jump

He is in no way like Barkley

I saw a Barkley resemblance as well.

Charles was crazy athletic. Geez. His best NBA seasons he was a top 10 all time

Dudes probably are remembering Barkley in his last seasons — & how he looked vs much younger NBA talent.

Yeah, no kidding. Made me chuckle

I agree with the respect for his game, but I don’t think that’ll be the case.

Egor and Catchings have higher ceilings for sure. And they are more skilled

I think KY will match up players. Fouss will play with mag while Keita will play

No touching

I would be very surprised if Fouss starts

So Coach Young isn't a good enough coach to find a way to utilize his better

I disagree with basically everything you are saying.

JoeExotic

Jun 19, 7:52pm

Unlike Fous, Keita is a bad free throw shooter, which can't be to KY's liking.

Forzaitalia

Don’t be surprised when Keba is starting.

JoeExotic

Don't be surprised when Fous plays more than Keita.

Forzaitalia

Jun 20, 11:45am

Only thing that would dictate that is injury or foul trouble. Both possible

JoeExotic

Jun 20, 4:50pm

Or better scoring from Fous, which is likely.

Forzaitalia

Jun 20, 7:30pm

It doesn’t really matter what any of us think about who starts or plays

Fouss is great, but his versatility is pretty poor. Thankfully, we got some guys who'll make him work as an undersized 5

SinkingQuffa

I have him starting at the 5 (pending the last scholarship opening) but Hall is

I'll respectfully disagree with you here.

So Fouss can do 1 of 20 things Jokic can well

That's nonsense. Every single player has bad games - but it's the body of work,

Bad games arent the same as bad match ups

Fouss is basically unplayable against a 5 out lineup.

I like Fouss, but I think his role is going to be greatly diminished. If he

You can change the outcome of a game by controlling the space around the basket.

With all of the "Glitz," people are completely under-valuing Fouss. The guy is

Fouss is due to have a great year! Love his skillset.
