What does Shai Alexander bring to Kentucky’s backcourt? Height. At 6’6″, Alexander will nicely compliment Quade Green, Kentucky’s other guard, who stands at only 6’0″. Alexander hopes that his height will create matchup problems and give an already versatile Kentucky team another dimension.
“I see things that a lot of shorter guards can’t see,” Alexander said. “Make passes and stuff like that, get my shot off over smaller guards.”
Alexander is most used to playing point guard, but he’s looking forward to sharing the backcourt with Green.
“I think we’re both good leaders. We can both get teammates the ball and stuff like that.
