#3 Andrew Harrison

The third best point guard barely edged out Teague in a close battle. However, two trips to the final four were too much for me to say no to Andrew Harrison at number 3.

Harrison possibly be the most scrutinized player to play point guard for Calipari. In his first seasons, it was turnovers and bad body language that gave Harrison a bad wrap. It would not be until the 2014 NCAA Tournament that helped turned around the fate for Andrew.

Coming in as underdogs in every match up, clutch free throws and finally taking advantage of his size that helped key the Wildcats magical run. After a loss in the finals, Harrison promised one more year to the Big Blue Nation and he did not disappoint.

Andrew came back in year two a more confident guard that helped lead his team to a 38-1 record. Maybe the biggest change was the margin in assists to turnovers. Per 40 minutes, Harrison increased his assists by .6 and lowered his turnovers by .8. Nothing drastic, but still improvement none the less.

The Andrew Harrison era may be over, and some fans may still be skeptic of the 6-6 point guard. One stat that should seal any debate about Andrew are his March Madness numbers. With a 9-2 record in the big dance, there should no longer be a debate over the worth of Andrew Harrison.
