Adam Zagoria spoke to an unnamed NBA scout after Kentucky’s win over Louisville and he had some very good things to say about Tyler Ulis.

He destroyed Skal Labissiere.

Take a look at the quotes about the Kentucky freshman:



“Big Skal, no strength, no toughness, no game,” the scout said. “Comes off the bench, plays 10 minutes, had 2 points, 3 rebounds, 0-for-3 from the floor. Shot an air ball on an easy hook. “That guy is what you call a ‘Paper Tiger,’ a mock draft myth. He’s a f***in’ fantasy, that guy.” Told that DraftExpress.com had Labissiere projected as the No. 5 pick in the draft after he was once at No. 1, the scout said: “No. 5, he’s not No. 1, he’s not No. 5, he’s not No. 51. That’s a joke. “He’s not going to play anymore for Kentucky, I don’t think. There’s nothing he could do. The Louisville big men are mediocre at best. Truth be told, they’re below mediocre. He couldn’t do nothing with them. He’s a fraud. The thing is going the other way fast.” He added: “You gotta see kids play against big-time college athletes and then you can make some kind of assessment. …This is Rupp Arena, sold out, this is religious tribal warfare. It’s one of the great rivalries in college basketball and if the kid didn’t have a big name, he wouldn’t even have played because he didn’t deserve to play. That’s my opinion.”

At this point of the season, it looks like it will almost take a miracle for Labissiere to turn it around.

This could be a big week for Labissiere as Cal said he is ready to go to work leading up to the Ole Miss game.

“I’m giving them two days off. They get the rest of today off. And they get tomorrow, we’re going to have dinner and watch the tape at my house. And then we start up Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and we’re going, two-, three-a-days. We’re going every — just throw your phones out, throw your computers out, because it’s on. We have to get better.”

Will this be enough to get Skal over the hump?

If not, I don’t expect to see him a lot in conference games.
