Calipari says Juzang can make UK "a different team" next year

Following Juzang’s Instagram announcement, Coach Cal released a statement about the latest Wildcat’s style of play and potential contributions.

“Johnny can really score the basketball,” Calipari said. “He can really shoot the basketball and has a great skill set, but what I love about him is his will to win, his fight and competitiveness. He likes to play physical and can shoot over the top of defenders, plus he’s a very good rebounder for his age. He’s a smart player who is really going to make us a different team next year.”

Calipari also commented on Juzang’s decision to reclassify into the 2019 class, a decision Calipari can now admit he fully supported.
