— Shots fired! Shots fired! Shots fired! Thomas Robinson is still bitter over all this love and praise for Anthony Davis. When the former Jayhawk was asked today what he thought about Davis’ “Check My Stats” t-shirt, Robinson replied, “If you checked my stats, I’d be the No. 1 pick.”
*** checking Robinson’s stats.. ***
Nope, still not the No. 1 pick.
— Luke Winn over at SI.com got bored waiting for tonight’s premiere of Prometheus so he evaluated the offensive balance of all the previous NCAA title winners. This past season’s Kentucky team ranked at the top, just ahead of the 1997-98 Wildcats.
1. Kentucky 2011-12
Top Six in Rotation (Poss%): Marquis Teague (21.1), Anthony Davis (19.2), Doron Lamb (18.2), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (21.4), Terrence Jones (22.3), Darius Miller (18.7)So there you have it: Kentucky ’12 is the most balanced title team of the past 16 years — and potentially much longer than that, if the data were available to prove it. To have top-two draft picks using just 19.2 and 21.4 percent of possessions is not in any way normal. This is what’s more typical: The No. 1 pick in 2011, Kyrie Irving, used 27.2 percent of Duke’s possessions, and the No. 2 pick Derrick Williams, used 28.7 percent of Arizona’s. The No. 1 pick in 2010, Kentucky’s John Wall, had a usage rage of 27.3, and the No. 2 pick, Ohio State’s Evan Turner, used 34.3.
The 1999-2000 Duke Blue Devils were third.
— Speaking of Blue Devils, Christian Laettner just joined the Twitterverse. May God have mercy on his soul… @laettnerbball
— According to Kyle Tucker, who is at today’s NBA Combine, Terrence Jones told reporters, “Hopefully soon we’ll have a Kentucky guy on every team.” When a reporter asked Jones about the five UK players in this year’s draft, Jones said, “Six.” Teach ‘em ’bout Kentucky, teach-’em teach-’em ’bout Kentucky.
— Watch Brad Calipari and Karl Towns Jr. play horse.

June 7th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
riveting…
June 7th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Calapari is going to the heat after they lose tonight, I had thought it all along, but now a video surfaces with his son playing horse in an adidas shirt.
WE ARE A NIKE SCHOOL
Drew is the first one to break the story.

What a happy kid. Fun just to watch him smile.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
NCAA is investigating this play…Brad is wearing an Adidas shirt.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:48 pm

June 7th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
TRob mad tho
June 7th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Towns is already 15!?!?! I wish we still had Billy G. He would have had a commitment from Towns by age 12 for sure. #GillispieExperience

4) Well played.
June 7th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
tell them,, t. jones!
June 7th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
the Towns kid. what a nice lookin shooting form. I know he is 15, but can he take enough classes to graduate by the end of his soph. year in h.s?
June 7th, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Brad doesn’t miss and has good looking form, lack of rotation for a freshman in high school is hardly a concern. I’ll make the bold prediction of saying Brad and Karl Towns will be teammates one day.
June 7th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
So how much is the company that makes the final four prints paying you to advertise?
June 7th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
He missed a shot, don’t want him
June 7th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
Nice to see 2012 come out #1 in Winn’s list. The 1998 team is underrated in my mind because that group was either first or second in the nation in both field goal defense and rebounding. If the opposing team only gets one shot on most possessions and has a low chance of making that shot, normally they lose.
June 7th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
^15 The shot he missed was left handed and he almost hit that. This guy is dead-eye shooter for a 15 year old PF
June 7th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
I wonder if Brad talked to Karl about possibly coming to UK? We could sure use him for the 2012 class.
June 7th, 2012 at 11:02 pm
Brad looks like a mix of his dad and the kid from 6th sense.
