As PJ Washington explodes onto the scene, EJ Washington recedes.
Such is life in Kentucky’s four-man collection of big men. In UK’s last three games, Washington has scored 67 points, grabbed 31 rebounds and played 92 minutes. Montgomery has scored nine points, grabbed five rebounds and played 31 minutes.
“I’m just enjoying the process,” Montgomery said Friday. “If one guy ahead of me is playing a good game, I just sit back and wait my turn. Cheer him on because he’s doing his thing.”
This yin and yang is part of the process, UK Coach John Calipari has said.
