I have a different take on minutes this year......

i think our freshman are excelling because there is no immediate pressure to,succeed and produce. I think for the first time in the Cal era, our freshman don't have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Also cal and staff didn't have to teach the basics of offense, speed of game, ect. Practice and game mirror each other. A bunch of 17-18 year olds weren't expected to produce for 30 minutes from the get go.

Actually it's his 3rd in a row and 4th of the season. I believe that's a first over any of Cals stellar freshmen.

Nobody on the team is getting the minutes they deserve. That's what Kentucky basketball is about.

It's also rather easy to spot them.

TexKat, Actually John Wall and Nerlans Noel won the freshman of the week four straight times.

Congrats to Devin Booker, and also to troll spotter, don't know what we would do without you people to protect us and the UK program. You are like a 6th man.

Go get 'em Devin!

Curiously, have any of our players been named SEC Player of the Week rather than just freshman OTW?
