Mark Pope’s third-ever Kentucky team will have ample options on the offensive side of the ball. Zoom Diallo and Alex Wilkins both exceled in the backcourt prior to their teamup in the blue and white, and rotation guys like Justin McBride and Jerone Morton have years of consistent scoring under their collegiate belts.
But even still, none of these dudes will match Milan Momcilovic in that way, and this Kentucky team is built in a way that they won’t have to. The 48% shooter from range (never gets old repeating that stat) has been plugged into the starting lineup as the go-to guy.
Momcilovic was brought to Lexington to score more than everyone else; what he does beyond that, for better or worse, should be handily covered by the rest of this solid roster. Big Blue Nation simply expects him to be a dominant scoring presence, and they aren’t alone…
