Despite criticism, Kentucky Wildcats platoon system produced results

When you look back at the 2014-15 Kentucky Wildcats basketball season, one word stands out.  Platoon.  And after the NBA Draft on June 25, two more words will stand out.  Lottery Pick.

Despite all the analyzing and criticism of John Calipari’s platoon system, his Kentucky Wildcats should have four players selected in the lottery this year.  So with a 38-1 Final Four season and a bevy of lottery picks, you have to admit that this once in a lifetime situation produced results.  I get that the team did not win the NCAA Title and that was the intended goal, but winning the NCAA Tournament is probably the hardest feat in sports.
