Kentucky fans have been wanting Isaac Humphries to play more and for Tai Wynyard just to play.
Well, UK fans should get one of their wishes tonight against Georgia because UK assistant coach John Robic said Monday his play in last week’s win over Florida — four points, six rebounds, two blocks — earned him more playing time. Wynyard likely will again watch from the bench.
“He played terrifically. He stepped up when the opportunity was there. He did the things exactly what we needed him to do,” Robic said when asked about Humphries. “Getting back to it today he was solid and it was nice to see that he stuck with it.”
“This would be a good game for Isaac because of their post players. They actually have size in the post. If it was like a Tennessee where they really don’t have a true post, that would be a tough game for Isaac. This is a matchup game that benefits all our bigger players. It just depends on the flow and how he’s actually playing.”

I don't think there is any doubt about it, Wynyard will play.

Humphries, on the other hand, showed serious signs of logging some possibly big minutes tonight after his showing on Saturday!

I bet Cal doesn't even know who he is going to play and when.

All games are different and the coachs have to adjust accordingly.

I just do not see Wynyard playing this season. He has only been on campus for six weeks, is big but not all that talented and Humphries is a much better option for a big body than he is. There is just no way Wynyard has learned the college game in such a short time, he was not all that talented coming out of high school. I saw him play in an all star game over the summer and did not feel he had the athleticism or talent to contribute early in his colllege career. Hopefully he will be a good four year player for us who will learn the college game and be a big help in his junior/senior years. He will be a good practice player for the talent we have coming in next season.

I agree Ray, it's been good for Wynyard and he will learn a lot but at his age the adjustment of college basketball is going to take him longer than the short time he has been at Kentucky.

Well he didn't play. I still think Cal will keep him on the bench this year and save him for 4 full years of play. He is not ready yet and no use in wasting his season with just a few minutes this year.

If Cal saves Wynyard for four years he has very little chance of playing professional basketball in the NBA. I thought his main reason coming here was that his talent was off the charts and a quick way to improve his game enough to play NBA basketball faster.

Had Wynyard played his basketball in America he would not have been a MacDonald's All American. From the one game I saw, he would probably be ranked somewhere between a 3 and 4 star player. He has good size but does not have a lot of athletism. I don't think he was as good as Willis was at this point in his basketball career.

3 and 4 star players seldom turn into NBA players and certainly not after one season of college basketball.
