Jarred Vanderbilt is the catalyst John Calipari’s 2018 Kentucky Wildcats have been looking for. He did not post an extravagant stat line. He did not dominate the game in any one particular way. That’s what makes him perfect for this team.
Vanderbilt’s surprise debut at South Carolina began with a flurry of frantic play all over the court. A wild missed four-footer barely hit the rim. An interior pass was thrown ten times too strong. He picked up a quick foul. He did everything you expect a kid to do in the first two minutes of his first college game.
