A Sea of Blue named three risers and three fallers for Kentucky after Wednesday’s 88-68 win over Florida A&M.
I wanted to share as I feel like it’s a good topic right now with John Calipari trying to find his best five and key reserves.
The three risers were Cason Wallace (of course), CJ Fredrick and Ugonna Onyenso. The three fallers were Sahvir Wheeler, Jacob Toppin and Daimion Collins.
Here’s an excerpt:
Sahvir Wheeler: Wheeler played just 20 minutes as Wallace ran the point for most of the night to spark the Kentucky offense. Despite averaging an SEC-best 6.4 assists per game, the veteran guard scored just five points on 2-for-6 shooting and has been a liability as a three-point shooter this season. The Wildcats need the Wheeler-Wallace combination at its very best this season to make a deep run in conference play.
Oh, and this…
Florida A&M coach Robert McCullum: “We thought they were more effective when (Sahvir) Wheeler wasn’t in the game.”
Oh.
