After Calipari penned the death of the platoon earlier this week, it’s safe to assume Cal will return to a traditional 8-man rotation. However, it’s much tougher to assume who will fill the rotation and crack the starting lineup. The Cats have five players who have played significant, competitive minutes. With four new recruits likely getting their fair share of PT, Kentucky can go 9-deep.
There’s a lot of things to consider:
1. Does Poythress play the 3 to allow Lee/Labissiere to share the 4/5?
2. How does Caipari balance the guards?
