1. Containing Jevon Carter

The 6’2″, 185 pound Carter is the leading scorer for the Mountaineers. The senior guard is averaging 16.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists. Carter is a threat from the outside as well. He is shooting 39% from three-point territory on about 6 shots from deep per game.

Carter is the player that the Kentucky basketball team must focus on. The Cats will likely continue to implement the 2-3 zone they’ve utilized throughout the season, however, when they inevitablity go man-to-man, look for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to draw the assignment.
