John Calipari takes to Twitter blasting scout's criticism of Skal Labissiere
Kentucky's highly touted freshman Skal Labissiere has struggled in his first season, prompting some scouts to question his NBA prospects.
These are questions John Calipari doesn't appreciate.
The Wildcats coach took to Twitter on Sunday defending his young forward, after an NBA scout told SNY's Adam Zagoria that Labissiere is "a fraud" and "a paper tiger."
Evaluating guys is one thing, personal attacks are another. These are young kids and they deserve better.

Ultimately they've got to do it, but if anyone wants to attack one of my kids personally, they won't be welcomed here.

Kids grow at their own pace & shouldn't be judged by anyone else's timetable. We're here to serve these kids & help them reach their dreams.
