Let's fix Kentucky -- Thread:

Davion Mintz needs to play more. When he's on the court, UK is outscoring opponents by 14.3 points per 100 possessions (Team Efficiency Margin). No other player on the team has a positive number in this metric. Boston has a TEM of -11.6.

Davion Mintz is in all top five most effective teammate pairs for Kentucky. When Mintz is on the court with Isaiah Jackson, the team is outscoring opponents by 31.9 points per 100 possessions. By contrast, the Boston/Toppin duo is being outscored by 20 points per 100.

Kentucky's main lineup of Askew, Boston, Clark, Jackson, and Sarr is lackluster on the offensive end, with a Team Offensive Efficiency of 76, which is lower than almost all other lineups UK uses.

When you swap out Boston for Mintz, the offensive efficiency skyrockets to 180.

When Davion Mintz is on the floor, every single Kentucky teammate performs better than his individual average, as seen by the "Above/Below Average" metric.

Mintz with Jackson or Clarke leads to great offense for the Wildcats, while Mintz playing with Jacob Toppin is a struggle.

And for some fun bonus content, here's Kentucky's Circle Assist Network.

If a band connected to a player is his own color, that represents assists he provided for another player. If a band is not his color, it represents assists he received.
