CBS continues their College Basketball Preview with their thoughts on the top 100 players in college basketball.
Kentucky has 4 players in the rankings.
5. Nerlens Noel, 6-10, 228, C, Fr., Kentucky
He’s not Anthony Davis, but he sure will remind you of last year’s number one pick on the defensive end. He’s an exceptional shot-blocker, but does not possess the offensive skills of Davis. — J.G.32. Alex Poythress, 6-7, 239, F, Fr., Kentucky
Poythress made the transition from purely a power forward to a combo forward who is difficult to defend. He is excellent on the glass, but he is also able to knock down outside shots or go off the dribble. — J.B.33. Archie Goodwin, 6-4 ½, 198, SG, Fr., Kentucky
Goodwin might have been the best pure scoring guard in the high school ranks last season. He’s extremely athletic and knows how to get to the rim against nearly any defender. — J.B.62. Ryan Harrow, 6-2, 170, PG, Soph., Kentucky
John Calipari has had success with first-year point guards in the past, but now he has someone who has been in the system for a year. Harrow is a tremendous athlete who loves to make plays. — J.B
It is interesting that many have considered Kyle Wiltjer a breakout player this season and he isn’t anywhere to be found in the top 100 players in the country.
