Younger brother Andrew (not by much) has shown to be a different player. It took a while, but Andrew has learned to brave the point guard position and can run the offense decently well. He picks and chooses his shots pretty well and converts at a good rate, as well as making plays for the other heralded players on Kentucky’s team. Plays good perimeter defense and is a good finisher on the fast break and through traffic. He lacks what his brother covets though, and that is mental toughness. It doesn’t take much to wreck his confidence, and there’s time where if he’s struggling, he can give off a sort’ve whining vibe. Must keep his turnovers down as well. Thankfully, John Calipari just have a way of making his point guards have success in the NBA.

I do see a future in the NBA for both of the twins. Both have a long way to go, but both have the talent and the work ethic to make it happen. Maybe after a couple of years in the league, a team will decide to what the Suns did with the Morris twins and bring them into the same team. Only time will tell.
