The Sporting News has continued their college basketball position rankings and Kentucky’s Alex Poythress is slotted at #6.
Here are the thoughts on why Poythress will bounce back from a subpar freshman season:
We all know how disappointing Poythress’ freshman season was for the Wildcats, how John Calipari frequently challenged him to play with greater maturity, how many times Poythress found himself stewing on the bench. Would it surprise you to know that even with all that, Poythress still averaged 11.2 points and 6.0 rebounds and shot 58 percent from the floor? Those numbers were almost by accident. What if he returns for his second season with confidence and wisdom and a better sense of how to impact the game from the perimeter?
