Do you think Knox will be the best shooter on the roster?

Someone didn't see Brad Calipari clips of him shooting last year.


...but in all seriousness its will be JamarL Baker, or at least that's what we've all been lead to believe. Wenyen had a surprisingly good shot last year until the very end of the season, so hopefully he can be more consistent with it this year as well, not to mention Green saying he's a better shooter than the usual Calipari point guards so maybe he'll walk the walk.

I'll pick JV for arguments sake. Lots of floaters, jams & layups.
Knox will be right there though.

Not convinced Baker gets enough minutes unless Cal goes White team, Blue team.
 
Yes. Of the starters & main bench players, Knox should be UK's best shooter. Baker may have a better shot, but will not see the minutes of a rotational player unless he improves more than anyone we have seen in the time between commitment and first game.

Baker looks like a player that will struggle with the speed that the main roster will play at as a FR. It might take him a year, but that's not a big deal. I'm hoping he's the next Mulder. Struggles the first year with the speed of the game. Then is a great rotational player in his second year. The great advantage would be that Baker still has 2 more years of eligibility!

I can't even imagine what Mulder would be like if he were still here this year. If not for 2 lottery OAD guards ahead of him, Mulder would have been a godsend last year. The most underrated player in the Calipari era, in my opinion.

All in my completely worthless opinion as always.
 
Right now I think Green is the guy who has the highest outside percentage from the past year who is also likely to see the most playing time based on competition for his particular spot. And it also happens to be one of the spots teams could least afford to doubleteam or shade based on both his distributing skills and the other people we'll likely have on the floor with him.

So he's my guess for the time being.

If Baker and/or Alexander wind up playing and producing enough to challenge his total perimeter production despite all those factors......MONEY.
