It's been almost a decade since Kentucky basketball has run the platoon system - could they do it again this season?On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, we delve into a potentially game-changing strategy for the Kentucky Wildcats under Coach John Calipari – the revival of the platoon system. We explore the roster loaded with exceptional talents like DJ Wagner, Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard, and more, and discuss how it could be beneficial in a hypothetical world.The platoon system, previously employed by Calipari, involves rotating two cohesive units of players, maintaining fresh legs and high intensity throughout the game. With a roster as diverse and skilled as Kentucky's, featuring talents ranging from DJ Wagner's finesse to Adou Thiero's physicality, the platoon system could exploit opponents' weaknesses and maximize performance.We break down the potential benefits and challenges of implementing this approach, highlighting the collective strengths of the mentioned players. From shooting prowess to defensive prowess, we analyze how each player's unique skills contribute to the success of the platoon concept.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetterhelpThis podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.If you’re thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. Visit BetterHelp.com/lockedoncollege today to get 10% off your first month. GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONCOLLEGE for $20 off your first purchase. LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.
