John Calipari predicts an unexpected freshman to have a "big game" in the NCAA Tournament
In the NCAA Tournament, stars are born, and the Kentucky Wildcats have a bunch of players who could become March Madness legends.
We all know the names that quickly come to mind for which players on Kentucky's current roster could be these stars like Antonio Reeves, Reed Sheppard, or Rob Dillingham. Other players like DJ Wagner and Justin Edwards, who have both been playing good basketball of late, come to mind. But perhaps there is one player who could step up that we aren't expecting. Coach Calipari believes there is.
On this radio show last night, Coach Calipari predicted freshman seven-footer Aaron Bradshaw to have "one or two big games" in the NCAA Tournament.
Calipari went on to say, "I don't know when it will be, but you guys will look at me and say, Why wasn't Cal playing this kid? The same thing with Z."
Bradshaw has had an up-and-down year, but when you watch him play, it is easy to see that he has a ton of upside. On the season Bradshaw is averaging five points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
Watching Bradshaw on the floor, he is on the skinnier side, and when you watch him play, it's clear that he could put on some weight in the offseason and be a monster next season.
If a player like Bradshaw or Zvonimir Ivisic were to break out in the NCAA Tournament, it would be a massive boost to this Kentucky team that is looking to make a deep run for the first time in a few seasons.
