The Cats leave Canada with another victory. The Wildcats won today 104-75 in another blow out over Windsor. Brandond Knight had another big game with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Doron Lamb had 23 points, Darius Miller had 24 points, DeAndre Liggins had 10 points and Jorts had 19 rebounds. Yes, 19 rebounds.
Things I learned from Canada:
- Brandond Knight is going to be very good. And by that I mean he is going to be a finalist for player of the year in the SEC and nationally. The kid can score, pass, run, steal, rebound, etc... I ain't sayin' he is John Wall. I'm saying he is Brandon Knight.
- Liggins looks for the first time since he has been at UK that he is where he belongs. A full year under Calipari's tutelage has formed him into a better player with desire and a will to win. He is going to be exciting to watch.
- Darius Miller is the leader of the team. He has recommitted himself in the weight room and has added rebounding and put backs to his offensive arsenal.
- Jorts still has a loooong way to go. He had some shining moments but we are going to need him if Kanter or Vargas are winded, in foul trouble or (gulp) ruled ineligible.
- Doron Lamb is a baller and will be even better once he starts getting used to the system.
Starting 5 predictions: Kanter, Knight, Jones, Miller, Liggins. Doron Lamb will be the first man off the bench and may even start some games depending on personnel needs.
That was a fun little August detour. Now back to football. The Cats are going to beat the Cards. The End.
