Lance Ware isn’t putting up numbers that will earn him weekly awards or national praise, but he’s always one of the first people that John Calipari is quick to praise after a game. The Kentucky head coach isn’t just floating out these words to be nice, either; he’s being truthful in his evaluation.
A 6-foot-9 sophomore forward, Ware plays a role on this Kentucky squad that is unique to the rest of his teammates. He’s not a shooter or superior athlete; not an elite rebounder or improvisational playmaker; but he plays with more constant energy and aggression than any other Wildcat.
