My guess would be Charles Matthews. I'd put Humphries second.
 
Skal,

simply because he's probably rusty as hell right now even so he's been healthy. His potential is also one of the highest, so as he get used to college game he'll have huge progression.

True!
 
Skal - hasn't played nearly as much in the last year as the others, and might have the highest ceiling, too.
 
Easily Skal. Big men, especially here at Kentucky, have improved the most in the last 5 years. From first game to end of season Cousins, Davis, and KAT all looked like completely different players. I expect the same from Skal.
 
Skal is the obvious choice.

I think a good, less obvious candidate is Murray. I thought he looked a bit chaotic at times in those games with the Canadian team. I think that Cal will improve his decision making greatly.
 
It's gonna be Skal, and that's exactly what we need. He's got the tools and the talent to be the best player in college basketball this season, but he's not there yet. By March, we need him to be getting closer to his potential. If he does, look out!
 
I'm gonna go with Skal as well. Lack of competition in his last year of high school is gonna contribute to a slow start, but as others have stated already that'll be good for him and the team. Come March I think he's gonna be impressive as Towns was at the end of the year.

I would say Charles Matthews is second, where he will improve his decision making, and I think he'll improve as a defender as the year goes on. I absolutely have bought into the DeAndre Liggins comparisons. He's a tough kid, and I can tell Cal absolutely loves his hustle.
 
Skal and then, Isaiah Briscoe second. He already has an NBA body type. He just needs to grow into it...
 
The obvious choice is Skal.

But if you're talking overall improvement from now to March. I sincerely hope it's Poythress.
