With heralded freshman John Wall sitting out Monday’s exhibition against Campbellsville, Kentucky may start sophomore Darius Miller at point guard, Coach John Calipari said on Sunday.
When asked who would backup another freshman, Eric Bledsoe, at the point, Calipari said it would be Miller.
“Or he may start,” Calipari said of Miller, a former Kentucky Mr. Basketball from Mason County.
Miller has played the wing almost exclusively for UK. But Calipari said he had noticed that Miller’s play improved when he had the ball.
“He’s like Tyreke Evans,” Calipari said, referring to the star freshman he had last season at Memphis. “When you put the ball in his hands, he’s much better.”
Miller said he had not played much point guard during practices, but he sounded confident of playing the position in an emergency.
The expected starter, freshman John Wall, will sit out the Campbellsville exhibition as part of his penalty for having an agent, his AAU Coach Brian Clifton, pay for some expenses during the recruiting process.
