This is a pretty fascinating read by a New York hoops writer after the Fairleigh Dickinson upset over Purdue.
I think some here may be too dismissive of what Almonor might bring to Kentucky - especially on the defensive end. He sounds like someone who will commit to shutting down just about anyone.
Of special interest to me: Almonor scored 23 points in a first-four win in the NCAA tournament. But then he was willing to totally subjugate his offensive game to focus on frustrating Edey.
The more I read about this guy, the more one former Cat comes to mind: Heshimu Evans.

FDU’s swarming defense stops Purdue’s 7-foot-4 Zach Edey in crunch times
Zach Edey got his numbers. But in the end, they were empty digits against an FDU defense that keyed the Knights’ 63-58 upset of No. 1 seed Purdue.
