Davion Mintz is on fire.
In his last two games alone, Mintz hit nine 3-pointers on 56 percent shooting from outside. For a little perspective on that hot hand, he didn’t hit his ninth 3-pointer of the season until seven games in when he hit a season-high four 3-pointers as part of his career-high 19 points against Louisville. Now he has nine in two games, both wins, and looking very confident in his abilities as Kentucky’s offense finds some rhythm.
We also can’t forget his biggest 3-pointer of the season from the final minute of Kentucky’s first win over Vanderbilt, Mintz’s first dagger on record in UK’s third win all year:

So what’s the secret behind Mintz’s emergence as Calipari’s best dagger thrower?
