Looking at March!

I think if Williams gets better offensively it will be huge. He’s shown flashes but lacked a smooth touch around the rim last night. If he can get comfortable scoring down low look out
Garrison development is the key to this team making some noise in March.
I also think at some point Noah will have to get some minutes from Jaxson.

Jaxson becoming a confident and able scorer
Brea hitting threes
Garrison improving as he looks to have potential
Williams being able to score
Need to get some semblance of rim protection

What!!!
This is not a knock on either of them. But Perry nor Noah shouldn't play in competitive games. Now if someone has an injury that may change, I think they are capable. But as the 11th & 12th men, there simply aren't the minutes for them.
Now next year they may contribute more, and I think by JR year could be key contributors.
Just gonna ignore my Garrison comment??
Noah has some potential and a ton of hustle. Would be interesting to me to see him get minutes against better competition.
We lose this entire team other than those two freshmen at the end of the year.

I was surprised at how raw Chandler looked in his few minutes! I don't think perry or Noah are ready for that!
For sure they are not ready.
That is why they need development this year. They should look entirely different by March IF they get development work and an opportunity for meaningful minutes.
If we lose this entire team other than Perry and Noah ... the "Banners" and "Front of the Jersey" talk mean nothing and everyone will have to face the reality of the new landscape in college basketball and that KY is no different than anywhere else. I suspect we only lose the seven (7) Seniors this year, based on what we've been told the assignment is that it is understood by coaches AND the players. To lose Oweh, Garrison and Chandler, only returning Perry and Noah, would be very disappointing, but I will be able to deal with it ... hell, all of us will ... we'll have no choice but to trust that Pope will hit the portal hard and reload. GO CATS !!
We have 6 super Seniors, a Senior, a Junior, and a Sophomore. That’s 9 guys ahead of any Freshmen. None of the Freshmen should be playing much in big games. 9 deep is plenty deep enough when everyone is able to give you productive minutes.
Agreed. I think Garrison and Chandler's improvement, in particular, will give us a bigger boost in March. Garrison seems to be in the point center mold and you can see flashes of some real potential there, and I think the game will slow down for Chandler and he'll use that athleticism to be the driving threat we need when a team like Duke tries to extend their defense. He can still keep them honest from outside, as well.
And then just general experience playing together, you can see on some of their passes that they're not all on the same page with the cuts to the basket.
Garrison and Chandler getting 10-20% better takes this team to a solid E8 and potential title team.
