John Calipari has been pretty good at his predictions when it concerns his players and I am sure Kentucky fans hope this one is true.
Cal has spoke with Andy Katz and speaks highly of freshman Archie Goodwin’s motor.
2. Kentucky coach John Calipari loves to toss out platitudes of his newcomers before practice stars. He’s very impressionable and more times than not his hype sticks. He raved about Doron Lamb’s potential last summer and ultimately Lamb proved to be as vital a part of the national title run as any other player not named Anthony Davis. Well, the latest to receive the plug is freshman guard Archie Goodwin. Calipari said that Goodwin has a motor like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. That’s high praise since MKG’s motor was one of the reasons he was selected in the top 10 in the NBA draft. Goodwin is one of four freshmen (Nerlens Noel,Willie Cauley, Alex Poythress) expected to play major minutes this season.
You will never hear any coach complain about a player that gives max effort with a neverending desire to win.
That is what Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was and what every player should strive for.
