With at least two of Kentucky’s seven-footers out for the foreseeable future and the NCAA still deciding the fate of the other, Tre Mitchell is the man in the middle for Kentucky. Thanks to Bob Huggins’ off-the-court behavior, the 6’9″ forward from West Virginia landed in Kentucky’s lap at the last minute, and thank goodness he did. Thus far in exhibitions in Toronto and vs. Georgetown College, Mitchell has excelled as a stretch five. On Friday, he led the team in points (22), rebounds (9), and blocks (3). Included in that point total are four three-pointers, proof of how Mitchell can help the Cats space the floor even after one or more of the traditional bigs return.
