I was really happy with the stellar defense that Anthony Davis played. He is going to be a big time force down in the paint. He has the range and length as John Henson but still has a little more weight and room to grow. I think that for Davis, the sky is the limit and he is well on the way to making us a top 5 team next year.

With Gilchrist, I think that we all saw what he is know for. Hard nose defense and a solid contributor on offense. He may be the most important player next year in terms of where we end the season as his stellar defensive mentality would give us two lock down defenders and a solid defensive core (Liggins and Gilchrist). His offense will come around, but it also seems like he is just scratching the surface as what he can bring the team next year.

Teauge was a bolt of lighting out there and it really seemed as though he is poised to be the next big time point guard in the DDMO. I think that even if Brandon Knight does come back, he is the more natural point guard and that his skill set is similar to John Wall's. He had some great plays in which he blew by the defenders and also had some good runners. All in all, he seems a little raw right now, but with a little bit of time, he will fit nicely into Cal's system.

Wiltjer is one of the interesting players in the McD game. He has so much range it is almost unfair for the other team to figure out how to guard him. He has size to potentially be a center type player but he is mobile enough and has a pure shot to go out to the key and be a factor. He is a matchup nightmare in my opinion. He can be the biggest x factor next year as people will not know exactly what we will get out of him at the college game. It is going to be exciting!

great post, i too was very impressed with gilchrist's defense. this is something uk should be recruiting, not to tip the bottle already but kentucky will have an impressive year next year to go along with this one.
