Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the spice in Kentucky's offensive recipe

Let's be honest. Kentucky has a lot of weapons. John Calipari's offense makes that a necessity. He recruits so that he has four players on the floor who can attack off the dribble, and he recruits at a high enough level that he can force mis-matches with his elite players. Terrence Jones, when he's on, can be a point-forward matchup nightmare. Anthony Davis doesn't have a bucket overflowing with post moves, but the ones he has are pretty much unstoppable. And when other players break down the defense, Davis dunks. A lot. Doron Lamb shoots 47% from beyond the arc. Marquis Teague plays more minutes than all of them and runs the show. But it's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist who gives Coach Calipari the most options. At 6-7 and 230 pounds, he's just a load for anyone with his skillset. I looked at film from the Wildcats Sweet-16 and Elite-8 games to get an idea of how they use him. And this only really covers the way they get him shots. It ignores all the other facets ...
