Can these two play at the same time? I’m not talking about getting along or being selfish. But does the offense work with both of them on the floor at the same time? This isn’t John Wall with Eric Bledsoe. This isn’t Tyler Ulis with Isaiah Briscoe or the Harrison twins. Neither Green or Gilgeous-Alexander are pure shooters and neither seems to be a dominant driver. If they’re on the floor at the same time, can the Cats score consistently? When they play together, I’d love to see this UK basetball team run a true Calipari dribble-drive motion offense. But right now, unfortunately for Big Blue Nation the offense seems stagnant and unsure of itself.
