The Kentucky Wildcats are 11-2 as they have wrapped up non-conference play with their win over Brown this afternoon. Now, they will turn their attention to the Florida Gators and the rest of the SEC schedule.
One player, however, is looking to continue to grow in his role, as his minutes have increased over the last few weeks due to Kerr Kriisa’s injury. That is none other than Eddyville’s own Travis Perry.
Perry has been thrust into action to help play some point guard duties, and after a few tough appearances, he’s showing he has what it takes to play an important role on this team in
Mark Pope agreed and pointed out that the experience was only going to make Perry more comfortable.
“The one thing I learned is that TP is going to keep working into these minutes at the point, and he’s going to keep getting more and more comfortable,” Pope said after Tuesday’s win over Brown. “He’s got so much more to his game than we’re probably seeing in the limited minutes he’s had so far, because he’s still trying to just get over the newness of it.
“But as he settles in, and he’s going to settle in under fire, he’s going to be very, very, very serviceable, giving us some minutes at the point.”
Perry has started to show flashes of his scoring ability, making another 3-ball in the win over Brown and cutting to the basket to get some decent looks close to the rim. There is still growing to do, but the reps are starting to help Perry find his footing.
Going to be fun to see how he develops now that we enter the gauntlet of conference play.
