Kentucky having so much talent that they are going with 2 rotations of teams a blue Platoon and white Platoon... Thoughts? Can it work?

I think it can work early but I think he'll mesh them up later in the season and have his best 7 playing the most when conference and tourney time comes.

Won't work. No player wants to only play 5 minutes then come out. Something will change at some point.

Sounds like having two quarterbacks. Doesn't usually work.

Who are the 2 different groups they are playing? Which combos?

I would guess #1: Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Karl Towns, Cauley-Stein, Poythress

#2: Booker, Uhlis, Lyles, Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee

Am I close?

This defense is unreal!! And it's not like Kansas is a joke team. They simply can't get any clean looks! And nothing down low.

The SEC is pretty weak in b-ball. They can use either platoon and likely win the SEC.

Florida will be good once the suspended/injured players return (3 players missed the Miami game, including 2 starters). So, they might be able to give UK a good game. But there isn't much overall talent in the SEC. They'll be lucky to get more than the 3 teams they got into the tourney last year.

This is one of the most talented teams i've seen. You cannot go inside on them or it will get rejected. They beat a really good team by 32. Say what you want about Cal but the fact he gets the most talented guys in the world to play unselfish basketball is pretty amazing.

I gotta see this to believe this.

I hope it stays intact the entire season.
If they route every team, it could happen.
Curious to see how it pans out in a close game late in the 2H.

Karl Townes Jr. was a monster at St. Joes in Jersey, seen him play many times. Body wise and talent wise he will be NBA ready in a year or 2. Playing these platoons will not give any player any show boat time.
