The Kentucky Wildcats are loaded at every position and should contend for a title. Here are my projections on who is going to lead the team in all major statistical categories.

Harrison proved himself to be Kentucky's lead dog last year in the NCAA tournament, and he will prove his worth once again as Kentucky's most versatile returning scorer. Look for him to get the most opportunities out of anyone on the team.

Cauley-Stein is one of the most experienced players on the team, which will mean he should get the most playing time out of anyone in front court despite the loaded rotation. Cauley-Stein has the physical tools to take over on both ends of the floor, and his length will contribute to a lot of rebounds for the Wildcats.

Harrison improved as a playmaker as the year went on, and he will be the Wildcats' best point guard this year, using his size and ability to draw defenders in the lane to create easy kick-out opportunities for the talented players around him.

Harrison is a quality defender much like his brother, and he should once again be prime to create lots of turnover opportunities for his team of talented athletes to get out on the break and in finish in transition.

Cauley-Stein is no joke as a defensive presence, as his experience and physical attributes should lead to a lot of blocked shot opportunities in both the early game and in crunch time.
