Blast From The Past
-
There’s a reason the best point guards have come out of the John Calipari camp. Think about it: Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans and now John Wall.
Rose was the NBA Rookie of the Year last year and Evans will get the honor this season. Wall, college basketball’s top point guard, is expected by many to be the top pick in the NBA draft later this year.
Though all three have played under Calipari, Rod Strickland is the one who teaches them the finer points of the position.
At one time, Strickland was one of the best point guards in basketball. He could shake and bake with the best of them. He also could be a head case. But that’s all behind the Kentucky assistant coach, who has been mentioned as a candidate for the DePaul job. Experience is the best teacher.
