However, O'Neil quickly shows some affection to Josh Harrellson and his 7pts a game and 9rebs.
Early surprise: Josh Harrellson
Since August the entire commonwealth of Kentucky has had but one mission: to Free Enes. Desperate for a post presence, Cat fans have begun a grassroots mission to beg the NCAA to clear the Turkish big man.
But while the NCAA dithers on Kanter's status, Harrellson has been an absolute revelation. The senior is averaging 7.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, rock solid numbers for anyone. That Harrellson averaged 1.3 and 1.2 last season as he cooled his heels behind DeMarcus Cousins makes his production downright eye-popping.She throws Brandon Knight in as SEC player of the year and the big three freshmen of Jones, Knight, and Lamb as Rookie of the Year candidates.
There's no doubt that Kanter, a lottery pick regardless whether he ever suits up in a college uniform, would make a very good Kentucky team even better, but Harrellson's steady, reliable play has been a fantastic substitute.
My favorite is that O'Neil picks Rupp as the best place to play and of her 7 must see games, 4 of them feature Kentucky... welcome back to the bandwagon.
