Breakdown of the Kentucky Blue/White Game!!!!!!!!!

I will start off by saying that the game started out sloppy but got better as the game went on. This team will be tough to score on for sure. I will have individual evaluations of each player. Here we go: ANDREW HARRISON- He was very good tonight, looked dominant on offense and defense. He was hitting his jump shots from 3 and mid range, he was getting to the basket at will, hit his free throws. He has to convert more of his drives to the basket, looked like the best point guard in the country tonight. He did have 7 turnovers so he has to clean that up. AARON HARRISON- He did not shoot well from the field, but looked quicker defensively, hit his free throws and looked more explosive in general. TYLER ULIS- Looked good shooting the ball early, was making some good passes, but he was having trouble keeping Andrew from getting to the basket. His lack of size showed sometimes, but overall not a bad outing. DEVIN BOOKER- He scored 22 points but had 8 fouls, got trapped at times which led to turnovers, hit a couple of midrange pull-ups and went to the basket. Did not shoot a lot of three point shots. He was very good on the defensive end. He played hard and cramped up at the end of the game. More water young man. ALEX POYTHRESS- He was still a little inconsistent to me, got it going with his shooting and rebounding in the 2nd half. He has to be more consistent on the court, not bad defensively. WILLIE CAULEY-STEIN- He looked very good coming off his injury, moving quicker, had some good dribble moves to the basket. Also he hit a 15 foot jumper and blocked a couple of shots. His offensive game has improved a lot, looks like he will be a threat on that end of the court also. DAKARI JOHNSON- He was a load, tough to stop, moving well, some great post moves. He drew a lot of fouls but went 1 for 11 from the free throw line. Coach Cal said he will not be on the floor at the end of the game if he does not improve in that area. Otherwise very good performance from Dakari. MARCUS LEE- Besides a couple of nice passes he looked lost out there. I almost didn't know he was on the floor. He has to be more aggressive on the boards and look for his shot. He did catch an alley oop dunk. DEREK WILLIS- He looked scared out there, just did not have a rhythm. Late in the game he showed his shooting ability by hitting a three point and a turnaround 15 footer. He needs to be more aggressive looking for his offense. He was not bad on the defensive end though. KARL ANTHONY TOWNS- He is going to be a monster folks, he was everywhere. He was blocking shots, rebounding, passing, hitting 17 foot jumpers, hitting jump hooks in the post and crashing the boards. He also has a smooth stroke and was hitting his free throws. The only downside is he had problems guarding Dakari Johnson in the post, though Dakari is a load to deal with. He has to learn to hold his position in the post and stay on his feet. TREY LYLES- I was very impressed with him, his shooting, rebounding, passing, and free throw shooting. He showed he can play the 3 spot on defense also, moved his feet very well. Only thing is as Coach Cal said he has to look to shoot, be more aggressive looking for his offense. DOMINIQUE HAWKINS- He is very improved as a shooter, his a three pointer, he's very good defensively. He is playing more aggressive on offense, looking to get to the basket as well as shoot his jumper. THE TEAM AS A WHOLE LOOKED PRETTY GOOD FOR A SCRIMMAGE, THE WHITE TEAM NEEDS TO DO BETTER FROM THE FREE THROW LINE!!!!! ALSO THEY DID NOT SHOOT A LOT OF THREE POINTERS, NOR PLAY A LOT OF ZONE DEFENSE. THEY ALSO DID NOT PRESS AS MUCH AS THEY WILL DURING THE YEAR!!!!! THIS TEAM IS LOADED AND THEY WILL COME TOGETHER. IT IS SO HARD TO SCORE ON THE INTERIOR WITH THIS TEAM!!!!!> THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY, GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!
