Calipari calls Charles Matthews “a physical specimen,” immediate contributor

Kentucky was the subject of Andy Katz’s 3-point shot video series this afternoon on ESPN, and Katz shared a few tidbits from a recent conversation with John Calipari. Cal touched on all the latest developments with the program, including Jamal Murray coming to Lexington instead of competing for Team Canada, the addition of Isaac Humphries, and how the rest of the team’s doing. We’ve heard plenty about Murray, so here’s a roundup of the other comments that stood out to me.

— Cal likened Humphries to former Cat Josh Harrellson, and told Katz that while the Aussie isn’t as physical as Jorts yet (remember, Jorts came here as a JuCo), he’s more refined, with the versatility to play either stretch four or five position.
