5 rushed reactions: UK basketball vs Vanderbilt Commodores

1. Sacha Killeya-Jones the starter?

Sacha Killeya-Jones started for the Cats in the second half. This doesn’t mean that SKJ will start the next game, but indicates that John Calipari might be growing impatient with the level of production from Nick Richards. Killeya-Jones has more experience, more versatility and more offensive ability. I fully expect that Big Blue Nation will see a steady rotation of SKJ and Richards during SEC play.

Coach Cal will stick with the “hot hand” between the two, but their minutes will be similar no matter who starts. The center position has been the least productive position for the UK basketball team this season. As SKJ gets more playing time and more confidence, the production from the center position will improve.
