Ousmane N'Diaye​


If you don't have N'Diaye as one of the winners of Pro Day, you're doing something wrong. N'Diaye proved that he is a legit three-level scorer. Not only is he good around the basket, the 6-11 forward can also shoot it from deep, and he did it consistently well. He was even seen shooting a number of threes in a row during shootaround. But isn't just his ability to score from anywhere that really stands out, it is his mobility and how well he moves for his size. N'Diaye is going to provide some quality versatility this season. Those Kevin Durant comparisons may have actually been true in terms of playstyle.

Alex Wilkins​


Another major standout from Pro Day, Alex Wilkins' shooting had question marks around it entering this season, but what we saw from Big Blue Madness and then on Tuesday erased them. Wilkins was not afraid to let it fly from three and that was clear. It wasn't because he forced it -- he got himself open, whether it was by a teammate or him creating for himself. Wilkins even hit one three that looked to be on the mid-court logo. He has really proved to be a very consistent shooter for Kentucky.

Mason Williams​


There is a good chance Mason Williams gets significant backup PG minutes, early in the season especially. The freshman guard came in ranked as a fringe top-100 player, but he showed that he can be much more than that this season, We knew about his winning mindset, but what stood out at Pro Day was his shooting ability. He knocked a number of them down consistently in shootaround, and even a few during the scrimmage portion of the event. What also stood out with Williams was his size and a frame that looks NBA-ready. He was able to get to the basket consistently, which left shooters out on the perimeter for him to kick out to. He's going to be a significant contributor off the bench.

How did Moncilovic look ??

It was a good day for the Wildcats across the board, with no obvious weak links among expected rotation pieces. The team’s biggest names, particularly Milan Momcilovic and Malachi Moreno, looked like top contributors—the former had some whoa makes from deep while also impressing as a passer and the latter looked lean and explosive, leading all scorers through four scrimmage portions—but those in the gym left raving about Ousmane N’Diaye.

I'm gonna over-react and get excited. Sounds like a high-octane O team. Hopefully, if Pope can't coach D, at least the length at every position will help.

My take away is zoom will come off the bench by the middle of the season and Mason will be starting at pg. Zoom doesn't look great. Isiah Briscoe without the talent.

If Wilkins and N’Diaye are as good as rumored, this could be a very good roster. I like reading about Williams as a capable PG backup and McBride may have that toughness we need.

Moreno
This could prove all the doom and gloom fans wrong.

Is Kam Williams coming off the bench? Seems like that will be the case. He is multiple, so it may be best that he is first or second off the bench.
