Before the season started, a seven-rebound game would not have seemed that significant for 7-foot freshman Skal Labissiere.

However, the freshman has struggled to hold his own inside and he credited getting seven rebounds in Tuesday’s win over Georgia to the fact he just kept fighting.

“I know I can do better. That’s something I’m still working on,” he said.

Kentucky coaches have put him through an abundance of individual workouts to help him.

“That’s where the confidence comes from. We’re going at each other in those workouts all the time. The bigs, me and Marcus (Lee), Isaac, Tai (Wynyard), that helps a lot,” Labissiere said.

Skal averages 2.9 boards a game which is extreme low for a 7 foot center even for the minutes he has played. One would think Skal needs more experience and coaching before heading to the NBA but...maybe the NBA teams think that they can take a chance and teach him better and faster than what he gets in college basketball.
