This is an excellent point. One thing I will say though, this is with 10 days of actual practice as a team and Welch has been very responsible with player development and offensive work--particularly spacing and shot attempts. The fact the team showed excellent spacing as a young/unfamiliar group in early July is a great sign of what's coming.
The talent shows in pace/speed of the team/players (Reeves return is fantastic as I think he fits in even better with this style of play/team) and spacing leads to more fun basketball to watch due to more efficient and productive offense. Also fun to see more points off defense and the rim protection isn't even with the group yet. They'll get a lot of points of blocked shots igniting breaks.
Also and I know it's nothing in scope of things, but love the uniforms. Give me the same style with home/away and I'm good. Any alternative jersey too-black, gray, whatever, but I think it's a traditional and still stylish look for a program of Kentucky's stature. I will say that I saw an NBA team recently added an alternative jersey and it has checkerboard designs like UK had-may have even been the Raptors but forgot who had them, just laughed thinking of the UK player(s) who will have to be reminded of that when they put them on.
