Junior college transfer Mychal Mulder was recruited because of his 3-point shooting ability but also impressed many with his athleticism during summer play.
However, in Friday's win over Kentucky State, Mulder played sparingly and did not enter the game until late in the first half.
"These guys – they’re all fighting for time. Charles (Matthews) and Derek (Willis) and then Dominique (Hawkins) is coming back. So all of the sudden, OK, do three of them deserve to take Tyler's minutes, of Jamal's minutes, of Isaiah's minutes," Kentucky coach John Calipari said.
"If they don't, you're only spelling them. If you deserve some of those minutes, that's fine. We have got to work that out. And some of it is being worked out in practice. Some of it is being worked out in games. Some of it will be worked out as we go.
"I'll be honest with you, some of it will be game to game. Some games it may be Charles, some games it may be Derek. Just game to game.

That sounds very positive, from a fan's perspective. I hope that they all earn some minutes, and all remain hungry to earn more.
We have an embarrassment of riches in the back court. If Mulder doesn't rise up, we still have Ullis, Murray, Briscoe, Matthews, and Hawkins.
I think that the potential difference-maker is Willis. If he can bring that long, lanky 6'10" body into the game, ignite some energy, can some shots, and share the ball like he has done so well, then our front court suddenly looks a lot better. Skal, lee, Humphries, Poythress, and Willis would make a great rotation; each one brings something different into the game.
I'm likin' this team more and more. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

This team has it all, they can offense and defense with the best of them and as we have seen we have plenty of depth which will help come tournament time.
