Blaine Taylor, who flew out of Connecticut with our own Matt Jones, is the
head coach of Old Dominion and he has an opinion about Kentucky's frontcourt. In a chat with ESPN's Andy Katz, Taylor didn't seem all that impressed by Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis:
"The pair of them will have to be more creative. Davis didn't play well against us and didn't cast the long shadow over the game. He's vulnerable to physical play. Jones is a bit of a prima donna. One of them is salt and pepper and the other is meat and potatoes. They're not a carbon copy of each other at all. Both can step away from the basket, though. Davis was the more efficient player. Jones does a lot of flashy stuff, spinning and chest bumping."
Taylor did say the two have a wealth of ability with overwhelming talent. And, honestly, he is kind of right in his breakdown of Jones and Davis after that game. Davis didn't play well against the Monarchs and he fouled out for the first time in his career, only playing 20 minutes of the game. Terrence Jones only scored six points and picked up a technical foul for jawing with an opposing player.
A lot has changed since then, though.
