With college basketball in a slow crawl in the midst of COVID-19, Andy Katz is doing his part to ramp things up with a new “dream player” segment on his March Madness 365 podcast.
On Tuesday, UK coach John Calipari was in the hot seat, joining the likes of Roy Williams (Kansas), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), Leonard Hamilton (Florida State), Bruce Pearl (Auburn), Bob Huggins (West Virginia), Tom Izzo (Michigan) and Rick Barnes (Tennessee), who have all been asked by Katz the past eight weeks to break down their “best player” in 10 different categories.
With 38 players selected in the NBA Draft since 2010, including 21 lottery picks, Katz gave Calipari a pass on picking any one specific player, but the Hall of Fame Coach did his best to shine a light on many of the all-time greats that have helped the Wildcats to four Final Fours and a National Title in his 11 years at Kentucky.
