Five Quick Observations of Kentucky’s Win Over Puerto Rico

uk pr

The Kentucky Wildcats pounded on the reserves from Puerto Rico 74-49 to go 1-0 in the Bahamas.

Here is a quick reaction from today’s win:

1. Aaron Harrison looks so much stronger as he not only shot the ball well, but he also took the ball to the basket with authority. Aaron is a guy that will torture teams trying to defend him.

2. Alex Poythress is still a beast.

3. Tyler Ulis could be the best backup in the game of basketball and I would hate for him to guard me. This is what I tweeted during the game while he was bugging the PR point guards to tears:

4. Devin Booker doesn’t need to pass up open threes when he has them, even though he is not hitting his shots. Booker is a guy that will be deadly from behind the perimeter, but he can’t lose confidence. Ever.

5. Although Karl Towns missed a lot of open shots, he still looked very good and will be a force for the Cats. He has to be a favorite for National Freshman POY…so talented.

I know a lot more happened, but these are the 5 things that jumped out to me.

Give us yours in the comments.
