Luke Winn of SportsIllustrated.com has identified five "freshmen who fit" in their respective programs.
One of the freshmen he talks about is Kentucky's Doron Lamb. Winn says that while Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones have received the most hype, Lamb may actually be the best fit into John Calipari's system.
Here is an excerpt:
Doron Lamb, SG/SF, Kentucky: Of the Wildcats' freshmen, point guard Brandon Knight had the most hype coming into the season and power forward Terrence Jones has the most hype right now ... but Lamb may actually be the best fit into coach John Calipari's system. Lamb is a gunner/scorer who needed freedom to shoot as a freshman, and Calipari has allowed that to happen -- mostly because his system works best when he has dangerous long-range guys who can spread the floor. Lamb is 14-of-24 (58.6 percent) from three-point range thus far, earning big minutes despite the fact that his defensive game is still a work in progress.
