As much as I would love to say that Polson at the point would be U.K.'s best option that's just not the case. Polson has as much heart, probably more than anyone on that team but as others have said I don't believe that the Cats get to where they along with all of us here want them to with Polson. Polson can imo give a quick boost with his all out hustle and possibly needs to be in when an opponent has to foul/ put us on the line.

I love Polson's work ethic and hustle, desire. Should every player on this team have his heart then the Cats would probably be unbeaten now.

Hawkins plays a lot, but offensively he seems pretty far behind. Ideally the two PGs should be the Harrisons. Aaron and Hawkins at the off guard spot.

 

That's really the only problem. Hawkins gives you virtually nothing on the offensive side of the ball.

Especially running the point, which is what is being suggested.

Offense goes into a lull without Randle on the floor IMO;

No matter who runs the point that has to change.

It has gotten bad. The only way UK can now get the ball to Randle is down on the low block where he is either double teamed (or spins and subsequently turns over the ball) or, he is getting the ball up top beyond the three point line. That is not a good sign for UK. I thought Randle would have a better mid-range game. He can physically overpower the Belmonts so that is not very indicative of how things have been going.

The Cats do not have enough movement away from the ball on Offense. I thought this team would use more pick n roll too.
