For whatever reason, I have been thinking about this a lot lately.
I think many would predict that Alex Poythress will end up being the overall "best" UK player this coming season and I can't wait to watch him play. I love the diversity of his skill set and his ability to defend many positions.
I love what I am hearing about Willie Cauley-Stein and the possibility of a new "Twin Towers" (or Triplet Towers, including Kyle?) with Nerlens Noel.
I am a big fan of Kyle Wiltjer. I think he may very well be THE best shooter at UK EVER (just watch how he shoots, with so little effort and ZERO lack of confidence). I also like his potential for an inside-out game.
I love Harrow's quickness and I know he will have a lot of exciting highlights.
Ultimately, though, I have this weird feeling that my fave will end up being Archie Goodwin. The kid has been wanting to play for Coach Calipari for YEARS, he seems to have an incredibly great and coachable attitude, and his PG skills looked much better than I would have imagined in the McD game. I really don't care if he is a great shooter (just hope he takes GOOD shots when he does fire it up). I love his strength, quickness, and fearlessness going to the hole. Something tells me he will be one of our very best defenders from the word "go". I just have this great feeling about him.
So I am going with Archie Goodwin as my predicted favorite player this season. Who would you choose at this point?
