During his weekly call-in show on Monday, Kentucky men’s basketball head coach Mark Pope teased the idea of Jayden Quaintance playing at the 4 spot. He emphasized that possibility again on Tuesday during his pre-Alabama press conference with local media, saying that Quaintance is being given more and more run in practice as the Wildcats’ power forward.
“JQ, he played 4 all day yesterday,” Pope said Tuesday. “I don’t know if that’s necessarily where he’s going to land, but he’s certainly capable and it gives us a different look.
