Who Is/Was The Best Kentucky Point Guard?
Kentucky has had a few pretty good ones. Tell us who you think was the most productive.
Remember the word "productive. Got the job done. Not the flashiest, but could control a game and made others looks better because of their efforts.
I know we all can think of a bunch who led the Cats to great seasons, National Championships, or near misses. A few teams had point guards that weren't great scorers but contributed in other ways that made the team contenders.
Rupp had many, so did Hall. Sutton, Gillispie?
Its all opinions, nothing more.

I'd have to vote with you ro...
Everybody growing up during Macy’s time wanted to be just like him! LOL Even down to the FT routine… I used to call Wayne Turner “Spaz” because, at times, he seemed so spastic!! But, you can’t argue with his results!
If your wings don't sweep....
Ha !! I'll bet Kyle has more kids named after him than Wayne does
With that said though, I don’t have a particular favorite. :-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
LOL Yeah, probably true...
Not alot to do in KY in the wintertime except watch hoops and… Ummm, cardio-vascular exercises! :-)
If your wings don't sweep....
My brother is named after Kyle Macy
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
A lot of different answers to that question
If you go by winning NCAA tournament games you’d have to go with Wayne Turner. If you go by a ratio of who did the most “good things”, while minimizing the “bad things” I’d have to go with Kyle Macy, albeit he’s not my favorite UK point guard. If I went by sheer likability I’d go with Tony Delk.
That may require a definition of "point guard" then
Because Delk primarily played shooting guard IIRC. Ford and then Epps handled most of the point duties to my recollection.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Ford Started PG In 1993 And 1994
Epps started PG in 1996.
Sheppard started PG in 1995.
Delk rarely played PG.

Wow!!!....this one may really bring out some interesting discussion......
My vote is Rondo, and it wont be popular, for the same reasons that Wall wont be a popular vote in these circumstances, but Rondo was far ahead of the guys he played with and it hurt his stats somewhat.
1) Rondo
2) Turner
3) Macy
4) Wall (interchangeable with Macy)

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
Easy question -- there should be no debate...
The top 2 were…
1. Sean Sutton
2. Saul Smith
Ok, seriously, who was the best during his time at UK (NOT considering achievements after he left UK)?
1. Turner
2. Macy
3. Wall (Wall moves to #1 or #2 if we win NC #8 this year, depending on the size of his role in the postseason)
Honorable Mention: Beal, Minniefield, Hawkins
Saul Or Sean
Saul was 110-33 with 1 NC, 3 SEC, 3 SECT won in 4 years.
Sean was 40-25 with 0 NC, 0 SEC, 1 SECT won in 2 years.

You can’t separate most liked from “most productive” Some of our most productive were from the Rupp days. Not very many now days saw them play. Not many of us back then saw them play, as no tv. We only had the pictures from Claude Sullivan and Cawood. This was before the shot clock, when you could hold the ball and dribbling was of the utmost. Also no 3 point shot. Some of our best point guards player back then. Go Cats!
Happy Days are here again The sky is all ways BLUE again Happy days are here again !
point well taken.....as the game has changed so have the players
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
I compared the numbers
And in terms of assist/to ratio, and percentage of plays inluenced(ie: all trackable stats per minute), Macy is hard to argue with in any era. The fact that Turnerplayed in 3 nc’s, started 2 as the Point at UK makes him tough in any era also.

Vaughn played with Ferrin at Utah in 1944 but went into the Army.
Ferrin also opined that Alex Groza was the big big man he ever faced, better than George Mikan or Bob Kurland.

Best For Each Coach
Rupp = Ralph Beard.
Hall = Kyle Macy. (Hon Ment = Dirk Minniefield)
Sutton = Roger Harden.
Pitino = Anthony Epps.
Tubby = Wayne Turner. (Hon Ment = Rajon Rondo)
Billy G = Ramel Bradley.
Calipari = John Wall.
That is actually a great way to show the position.....
Here is a question for you Forty, given the state of today’s game, will Wall be the best that Calipari will ever have at the position??

If Wall stayed 2 more years
He gets the experience, disciline, maturity, and just plain playing time it takes to make better decisions as a point guard. As it is now, his assist/tp ratio horrid in comparison to Macy(2.60 to1) or Turner(1.93 to 1).

Highjacked? WOW, all I did was ask who was the most productive point guard in Kentucky basketball history. Who made their team mates a better play by being on the court with them? Dan Issel was great but would he have been with out Louie Dampier? Probably., Who fed it to Kenny Walker? Who got the ball down the court and ran the offenses the best?
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.

I’d forgotten that you mentioned all the coaches up top when I said “hijack” earlier. My bad…

Could Kyle Macy run this Kentucky offense? Wayne Turner? Why not? Don’t tell me its too fast. I’ve seen a lot of ‘fast’ end up throwing the ball away or putting up a prayer.
Can you imagine how good Cousins or Paterson, or Mashburn and others would have been with someone like Macy on the floor?
Thinking, in my opinion, is a big part of being a good point guard. Running the offense. Not just running.

So John Wall doesn't think, and Macy did?
Just askin’.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
Nice try!
I believe Joe B, Hall refered to Macy as a ‘coach on the floor’.
Has Cal made the same statement about Wall?
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
yes he has.....just recently as a matter of fact.....Cal said he was asking a huge
task of Wall making him guide the team from the floor…..at his age telling guys that were older and more experienced was not an easy task.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Youre right Paris, but Wall suffers from the same fate as Rondo did while he was here
to a certain extent. Some of the guys he plays with are just not near as fast as he is, and cannot react as quickly. Wall is a “break you down” type of guard. It is simply a different way of playing. Macy could pass his way out of prison, but he couldnt stay on the floor to guard Wall on his best day. He just was not that fast. But he was extremely accurate.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Macy guarded established NBA talent well
In a one on one day. I don’t see Wall beating defensive spacing and positionig
"all the way"
If you work it out, since 1979 ...
… averaging several measures available on Jon Scott’s site, the hierarchy works out like this:
- John Wall
- Rajon Rondo
- Anthony Epps
- Dirk Minnefield
- Wayne Turner
- Travis Ford
- Ed Davender
- Sean Woods
- Cliff Hawkins
Of course, this doesn’t account for things like career length, injury, etc. It really is a calculation based purely on the stats they accumulate as a Wildcat. I also took a liberty with one of the ratings to make it scale properly, but that should make no difference as to the result.
The rating for players prior to 1979 isn’t available, so I can’t tell you where Macy would wind up without doing the calculations for him manually, and I don’t have time for that right now.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
Macy's to/assist ratio nearly twice as good as Wall 2.60 to 1.53
It is not the PG’s role to electrify the crowd; he is out there to make the decisions that win the game. In that regard, that list would flip: IE Wayne Turner’s to/assist ratio better than wall’s, also, TO per 40 mins lower.
"all the way"
Yeah.
That’s true, but that hardly makes the case, at least in isolation.
Not everybody agrees about what a point guard should be. Wall may turn it over more, but he arguably makes more plays that result in points than Macy did.
I’m not saying Macy wasn’t better, I’m just saying that A/T is not the only measure of a PG’s mettle. It’s tough to compare eras too, and Macy was pre-3 point shot player, as was two years of Davender’s career. That’s got to make a difference as well.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
I will make one statement about the 2 of them.
In a one-on-one game, Kyle would be left standing holding his shorts, because Wall would have his shoes, jersey, and the ball and be gone before Macy knew it. He was a great guard because he didnt make any mistakes, or at least not enough to hurt you. But we saw Macy in his later college years. But on his best day, Macy is 2 steps slower than Wall, and it’s not even close.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
I happen to like how Andy Staples defines it
No other player in the nation can make a defense implode the way Wall can. Just as he did in AAU, he dribbles around the perimeter, hunting for a weak spot. As soon as he identifies it, he zips past the guards and into the lane. By now, at least three defenders are actively engaged in stopping Wall, which means at least two Kentucky players are wide open. Much of the time, Wall hits one of those open teammates for an easy basket. Other times, Wall just makes everyone in the opposing jersey look foolish.

Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Macy shot the three in the pros with great effect at 23'9"
A stat exists on the statistics page with points per possesion, and Macy blows Wall away. It’s apples and oranges, though, as Wall is a scoring PG and Macy is a possesion PG.
"all the way"
What was the scoring average for the 1998 team compared to this one? And they didn’t have the 3 point shot did they?
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
yes....1998 had the three.....as a matter of fact they won with it on several occasions
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Sorry, I meant 1978.
The ‘three’ didn’t start until 1986. I was wondering what the Macy, Robey, Phillips, etc. averaged in scoring compared to the current team.

You Get A Lot More Assists When Your (1978) Teammates Hit 54% FG
The Macy led teams were very good shooters, hence more assists for PG.
by FortyYearCatFan on Mar 5, 2010 4:30 PM EST up reply actions
Or you get a better look when you get a better pass
for a real PG, a pass is not a “bail out” ,but an executed part of an offense. Macy delivered the ball to the right guy in a posittion to score.
"all the way"
You will find
talking to coaches. They find it hard to compare players from different teams, much less different eras. For that reason alone we will revert to our favorites.
Happy Days are here again The sky is all ways BLUE again Happy days are here again !
IN MY OPINION, I would rather have Kyle Macy running the team. With two minutes to go in a tied game, I would want Macy disecting the defense, directing the offense, getting the ball to the best place on the floor, and if fouled, the man at the line shooting the foul shots.
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
If John Wall were a 3rd or 4th year player
your opinion might change. Just sayin’. I really don’t think you can compare a freshman PG and a senior PG. I’m just thinking what if, Paris. But we will never know the if, in this case. :-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
I agree
By the time Wall is in the league several yrs, we will know more. 3yrs at UK and Wall is near Jordan-like when he goes to the NBA. Jordan, BTW, went pro as a Junior, and he was ready. He could easily have played one and done; but I think it seved him well to play three yrs for a great coach, just like 4yrs under Tubby were (IMHO) what turned Tayshaun Prince into the all around player he is.

But Kyle Macy was very, very good. It’s a different game now, but Rondo and of course J. Wall are both excepional. I wasn’t sure Rondo was ready for the pros when he left, and he has shown what he can do. Nobody doubts what J. Wall can accomplish at the next level…

I saw a potshot or two at Saul Smith, and I would like to say that Saul Smith was not a bad point guard. He caught a disproportionate amount of flak because he was the coach’s kid. Saul was a productive point guard who wasn’t the best, but he certainly wasn’t the worst either.
Porter was worse than him

THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE COMMENTS
This had been fun and I agree the Cats have had more than their share of very good point guards..
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
Thanks for posing the question.
The REAL answer, IMO, lies in your comment above. Basketball is played five on five, and the best point guards are not necessarily the best individual players, but the ones who make their team, and teammates, better.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
Just for the record,
here’s my definition of a good point guard:
Shoots the ball well, inside, outside, and from the line, ‘cause sometimes the shooting guard is cold“Feels” the defense catching up to him when leading a fast break
-Dribbles the ball with his head up and his butt low, keeping control of his body and the ball
-Has excellent peripheral vision-can see movement through a 175 degree arc and can see the color of a uniform through a 165 degree arc
-Has exactly zero selfish bones in his body; only cares about whether the team wins or not
-When double/triple-teamed, knows and “feels” where the extra defender(s) came from and knows, without thinking, that someone in that area is open
-Knows, and does, what the coach wants
-Executes the fundamentals without flaw
—Dribbles low and well with either hand
—Passes the ball away from the defense and at the appropriate speed, whether it’s a lob or bullet
—Brushes the picker when executing the pick-and-roll (just had to get that in there)
-
-Has enough speed and quickness to be a defensive asset vice a liability
-Can take over any position in the offense if he’s needed there
-Is totally merciless in breaking down the opposition’s defense
-Wins because of his leadership
-There’s probably more, but I forgot. At my age, that ’s acceptable
Pretty simple, isn’t it?
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
Dammit, can't use bullet statements, and I forgot.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
Kyle Macy, my personal favorite UK player, would probably
be a shooting guard in todays game. Could you imagine having him in that role on this team?
PG
Love JWall and wish he’d stay another yr. I didnt get to see Beard play, but cant ignore his results. Loved Delk but he wasnt really a PG. Kyle Macy?……..need I say more? Dont know that he was a PG but I liked Kevin Grevey too. But my all-time love goes out to Wayne Turner. Hell, that whole ‘96, ’97, ’98 group. Someone asked if they could shoot the 3? Tony Delk, Scott Padgett, Jeff Sheppard, Ron Mercer, Wayne Turner, Walter McCarthey, Cameron Mills, Antoine Walker. I’m sure I left a couple guys out and I apologize if I butchered the spellings. If memory serves me right, that ’98 team trailed every game of the NCAA tourney by 10+ at some point. So, yes, they had the 3.
Looks like we're about to be bumped
Thanks everyone for commenting and giving your opinion. Its been fun.
