Kentucky head coach John Calipari is known for recruiting point guards and allowing them to flourish in his dribble-drive system. But in the past, UK hasn't been an overly popular place for shooting guards.
Of the 32 commitments Calipari has received in his tenure, only six have been from shooting guards, and even fewer have been from shooting guards labeled as “shooters” out of high school.
But along with sophomore shooting guard Aaron Harrison, freshman Devin Booker thinks he can represent a changing of the guard in recent UK lore.
“I think I can be (that guy),” Booker said. “I have a lot of confidence in my jump shot and that's how I am going to assert myself.”
