Well for one thing, Zvonimir would be a big get for next year himself, he didn't get to play until later in the year on a very deep team, but Calipari fought to bring him along for a reason. I'd be excited if he were on our team next year with pretty big expectations.Can someone explain why we think he'll be so much better than his brother? Not trying to be a jerk, just truly curious why his floor is so much higher.
Tomislav played more basketball at a higher level this year, and is a bit more physically developed.
The REAL question though is why Tomislav, who has now played another basically full season as a professional and is going to Illinois rather than Kentucky, is going to get an easier shake than Zvonimir from the NCAA on the eligibility review still to come. I understand there is some quasi-academic aspect to the pro team the brothers were playing for in Montenegro, but that's far from a complete answer to the question. I would not be surprised if there are problems on the horizon there, the classic Eeyore Gritty part of my brain would honestly be a little surprised if there aren't any.
Both Ty and Kylan were full time starters on excellent teams last year. I cannot allow you the bolded over a 4.3 minutes per game difference between the two.I mean, Arizona fans might have wanted more, but that's not the discussion. You set the bar at contribute and he, inarguably has done that. He started 35 out of 36 games and averaged 27 minutes. He's totally and completely a known quantity at this level. It's verging on absurd to argue otherwise.
And yeah, Ty will likely find a way to be on the floor at least 25 a game this season, but he's also never done it before, unlike Kylan.
