He scored well but the 7 turn-overs has to be corrected and would bet it will be.

He was probably Kentucky’s most criticized player last year, a role Andrew Harrison knew went along with being the point guard on John Calipari’s team.

However, Harrison never felt overwhelmed, just confused. Once he decided to return to UK for his sophomore season, he knew he wanted this highly-regarded team to be “his team” to lead.

“Oh, definitely. I want it to be my team,” said Harrison after Monday’s Blue-White Game at Rupp Arena. “I want to be one of the leaders on the team. I tried to be as vocal as I possibly could today, trying to get people in the right positions if they didn’t know it, stuff like that.”

Harrison had 19 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the field and 8-for-8 at the foul line, an attribute Calipari wants in his point guard. He had seven rebounds, another statistic Calipari likes. But he had seven turnovers, including six in the first half.

“I wasn’t doing that too much in the first half. Like I said, I have to play better than the first half. But yeah, I feel like I’m doing that better this year. Like I said, we have so much talent on the wings, so anybody can go off any night. My job is to get them the ball,” he said.

It's "usually" always the point guard that leads the team and mainly because it's in his hands the most. He has a lot to do with the pace of the game so he definitely will be a leader on this team.

The twins will continue to mature as the season progresses!

It's going to help the twins in the platoon system as they will be a lot fresher when they are on the court.
