Royce Quote on Kid-Gilchrist

He's not a lot better player. Royce needs to get put on the right team with the right pieces to find his ceiling. MKG could go to any team in the NBA and be at least a contributor but likely start. He is incredibly athletic and competitive not to mention how hard he will work. Upside-Pippen, Floor-Bowen. I like Royce but he's not a better prospect than MKG at this point.
Before the UK game Royce tweeted something along the lines of, "What happens when a KIDD jumps into a Lion's den #LandOfLions" Or something to that affect. lol
Pretty unnecessary comments from Royce, and out of character for someone who has only shown class as a Cyclone. MKG is a better pro prospect than Royce with a higher ceiling and the draft will prove that but as of right now Royce has a better all around game. I think both are great players and are really unique in that they can both impact games through ways other than scoring.
So this tool thinks calling Royce "nothing special" is not provoking him? Or just ignores his own player's crap?
Okay so the guy that writes for catsillustrated claims that it is a good thing for a man to leave a pregnant woman behind and move several states away? That must be standard operating procedure for Kentucky. Royce had too much class to do that.
Conclusion can only be that the Kentucky writer is a true " Kentucky blue" chauvinist pig!
And let's all try to control our tears because MKG overcame a fear of public speaking. Most fifth graders learn to do that - oh wait........what was the average grade point of the Kentucky team - if they actually went to class.

Probably not a comment that Royce needed to make. However, it has to be a little disappointing that Royce's anxiety issues are preventing him from being a lottery selection.
Additionally, in case anyone from Kentucky is interested in the facts....Kidd-Gilchrist was an absolute non-factor against Iowa State in the 2nd round. 1-4 from the field with two points, seven rebounds and two turnovers. I will call a performance like that pedestrian at best.
On the flip side, Royce scored 23 (on 9-12 shooting) grabbed 9 rebounds and dished out four assists against the best team in the country. Kentucky certainly has "scoreboard" but that win was based on the talent of Marcus Teague and Anthony Davis not on Kidd-Gilchrist.

Well said. If you rewatch the game Royce stuffed MKG not once but twice each time MKG challenged Royce. Also vividly remember Royce with a spin around easy dunk on MkG and a full length of the court drive and dunk in MKGs face.
UK had 6 NBA draft picks on that team and a coach that has been caught cheating more than once. If we had 2 or 3 Royces on that team I think we beat them. The writer for cat illustrated is obviously upset as Royce outplayed all the overrated six in convincing fashion.
They played against each other in high school. Just a heated rivalry, everyone has that person they played against that they don't like. I can think of multiple players I remember from high school that I never liked.
I'm not approving of the comments but every player has these thoughts about others. Sometimes it just slips out. I'm sure there are plenty of times Royce has held back on things he has wanted to say but failed to do so this time.
