Another good game by Decker especially if he shoots the 3 well could boost him into the lottery. PKM is you are out there who from KY is going to guard him? I think the best defender against Dekker for KY is injured.
I would say WCS? You can always put Towns/Johnson on Kaminsky?
Also if they play Dekker at the 3, Kentucky can always go with the big (huge) Towns/Lyles/WCS lineup. They did it before they can do it again. WCS' length could really bother Dekker's shot.
Yeah, but I see Dekker putting the ball on the floor in this case and going right past him. KY could really use Poythress to guard Dekker.
Scouts have been saying WCS is one of those guys that could potentially guard 4-5 positions in the NBA. So guarding Dekker wouldn't be a problem for him.
Has anybody watched Cameron Payne? I haven't seen full game of his, but he's skyrocketing through the draft boards nbadraft.net puts him in the lottery, and DX has put him as a borderline firstrounder. He seems to be a a scoring and well shooting PG(shoots 38% from 3) from Murray State.

I would guess wcs is going to guard kaminsky to start.
lyles will be on dekker
the matchup to watch will be towns vs Hayes. can town guard hays? calipari may switch wcs and towns.
That's a good post, but WCS is long and fast enough to both back way off and challenge the shot. Makes up a lot of ground fast.I don't think anyone is questioning WCS ability to guard Dekker. The point is that if he has to float on the 3pt line to guard Dekker, that leaves more room for other players to cut and drive.
Dekker can't just put the ball and the floor and drive past WCS. If WCS and Cal are smart, they just challenge Dekker to continue his hot shooting. Percentages say he isn't that great of a shooter.

2 of Hezonja's 5 threes and a nice pass from Tomic

No, it will be WCS on Dekker, Lyles on Hayes, and Towns on Kaminsky.. not that it much matters because we switch EVERYTHING.
Towns will have trouble guarding Kaminsky IMO. Senior vs. Freshman matchup. I imagine Frank will get hot, and demand defensive attention from WCS
Well, I don't disagree. I think Towns will have 2 fouls within the first 5 minutes and sit almost the entire first half. He's a great talent but still makes small freshman mistakes.
Also, the switching somewhat negates individual matchups.
I also agree with WCS will mainly guard whomever is hot.
