The Cats' problems deal less with their individual basketball ability and more with their overall ability to perform and use their skill as a team. This team has yet to consistently click. I've seen it for stretches, such as the first half vs Maryland or the latter portion of the second half vs Louisville. The potential is there for Kentucky to become a great team again, they just can't seem to flip the switch and keep it on.

I agree with what you are saying. IMO Cal needs to play the right people. If Cal doesn't learn to control Goodwin he had better learn to spell NIT! I would like to see him start Harrow, AP, WCS, NN and Mays and bench Goodwin. IMO Goodwin is killing this team. He doesn't play team basketball, he is a poor passer and shooter and IMO Jon Hood is a much better BASKETBALL PLAYER. Basketball is not a track meet being a good athlete will only get you so far. No team can click when they fight there way back to take the lead and one guy either takes a bad shot or throws the ball away. AP is a baseline player who can be a player like Larry Johnson that finishes well on the break and shoots from the elbows and hits a open 3 from time to time, he's not a guy you want shooting a facy little "Floater'! I have no idea why Cal's staff is teaching this floater to him??? IMO Wilter didn't do anything over the summer to improve his body. IMO he needs redshirted and needs to spend a year working to improve his bulk, speed and strength. We all know that he can shoot the ball and is a skilled passes and smart player but to have a shot at the NBA he needs strenght. In December we all remember Cal referring to Wilter in the same sentence as Larry Bird nicker: Magic Johnson said " there will never ever ever ever ever ever be another Larry Bird". Bird was a skilled basketball player but he was tough, hard nose and would fight anybody anytime. The reason Bird never hurt Boston on D was because he almost always guarded the other teams #4 he was strong around the basket and a good help defender and a great rebounder. Wilter is 6' 10" plays like he 5 inchs shorter.
