Observations re: Blue/white

Marcus Lee has better instincts. Watch him for just a minute. His eyes are watching the ball and surrounding players a lot better. He would get caught on a screen or miss easy buckets because he wasn't in position last year. It looks like he has worked on this. I'm rooting for Lee to be a spark this season. He has all the tools
John is a KY legend. Welcome home. He was a kid who helped save this program at a critical time. He will forever be a hero in the mountains and the Bluegrass.....as for the team I love our guard play. We are not going to be as strong in the post as I thought but big Towns spoiled us.
Just going off what Matt jones said:
He picked us to win it all going into the tournament...not at the beginning
Only time he picked us to win it all preseason was 2012
Completely different playing style compared to last year. Cal's ability to adjust and play to the players strength, makes him great in my opinion. Some system coaches get burned by not adjusting.
Does this sound right?
In Rotation:
Ulis
Skal
Lee
Poythress
Murray
Mathews
Briscoe

Humphries
Mulder
Willis

I hope Matthews starts....with Briscoe coming off the bench. Really impressed by Matthews.
Lee looks very confident out there. I think he could take a big step forward this year.
Matthews will be hard to keep off the floor. He's the type of defender that Cal loves.
Ullis is even better than I thought he would be, which is saying something.
Marcus Lee looks like he's finally comfortable on the floor. The athletic ability was always there, but things seemed to move too fast for him sometimes. Not now.
Skal must be way better than he has shown tonight. I know it's just a scrimmage and that may be the way he's viewing it, but he looks very soft.

Might be good for him to tell a few UK stories. That would help get him more comfortable
You can't teach what Murray has. He has that "it" gene. Can't explain it but everyone knows it
Here's a controversial take: Matthews should start over Briscoe. He puts a better defender and rebounder on the floor. And the three PG thing is a bit awkward. It's taking the ball out of Ulis and Murray's hands.
Briscoe changed his shot over the summer...... man oh man change it back ....
looks like he's shooting the ball off of his ring finger.

I am a HUGE Murray fan, but to be honest Briscoe is the guard who has impressed me so far in this scrimmage
Ha ha ha, just one story. That's all I want.
Poy worked with a shooting coach over the summer. If he can be a reliable 3-point shooter throughout the season, we will be even more of a handful than I thought we would be.
murray when he drives and kicks could be our best play. when he's not going to the line or scoring. we have pick and roll with skal/lee and pick and pop with poythress. ulis runs the show and we have briscoe or matthews weak side. our offense will be different than what were use to, but effective the same. and i mean badass.
Thanks for the reports from those of us who were not in a position to observe the game tonight.
Humphries is going to pose a serious problem for teams next year.
