The Kentucky Wildcats have been fueled by elite small forwards over the course of the last couple of seasons.
While John Calipari struggled for a time to reel in a true small forward, he’s had a lot of success recently, including Keldon Johnson and Kevin Knox.
The one-and-done recruits have always been a staple of Coach Cal’s plan, but the Cats have been at their best when they have a steady and balanced lineup with a true point guard, true small forward, and a rim-protector big man.
This season, that true small forward with a ton of bounce and potential is Kahlil Whitney.
