Thread: Kentucky has 3 of Top 9 Freshman in Country

CBS Sports has ranked the top freshman in the country and Kentucky has 3 of the top 9.

1. Anthony Davis, F, Kentucky

Quite possibly the top pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Davis possesses limitless potential because of his size, athleticism and versatility. A late bloomer in high school, Davis enters college with a huge target on his back. He certainly won't be overlooked in Lexington -- and a Final Four is expected right away. 4. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, F, Kentucky While he doesn't have the ceiling some of the other freshmen have, Kidd-Gilchrist is a do-it-all type of player who just knows how to win. He works hard at both ends of the floor, and will do whatever it takes to get his team a victory. On a team with so much talent, expect Kidd-Gilchrist to be a steadying influence. 9. Marquis Teague, G, Kentucky The latest in a long line of John Calipari-coached point guards, a list that includes Derrick Rose, John Wall and Brandon Knight. Is Teague ready to carry the torch? Given his quickness and tremendous playmaking abilities, Teague will be just fine running Kentucky's offense -- and running is definitely the right word for the speedy Teague Am I the only one that thinks Kyle Wiltjer is going to suprise some people?

No you're not the only one. I think in the early season he'll be a bit tentative around the basket but as the season goes on, he'll get that hook shot going and that'll open up the 3 from the corner for him.

Wiltjer will surprise a lot of people. He's one of the most skilled big guys I've seen, and that hook shot is a thing of beauty.
