Advanced statistics implies that Kentucky’s Davion Mintz needs more minutes

Kentucky’s struggles this season have been intensely dissected with the hope of finding something positive to take away from a 1-4 record and one of the worst starts in the program’s history.

Well, look no further. Twitter user Evan Miyakawa (@evanmiya) dove deep into some self-created advanced analytics that suggests Kentucky’s problems aren’t as complex as they might seem. According to Miyakawa, the answer might be as simple as this: more minutes for Davion Mintz and fewer for B.J. Boston. His website, evanmiya.com, is a great tool for in-depth analytics coverage, and it provided him with some ideas for a potential fix to this stammering Wildcat offense.
