Kentucky freshman forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist took advantage of Terrence Jones coming off the bench and had 15 points and seven rebounds in a blowout win over Marist. He added two steals and two blocks.
Kidd-Gilchrist is a bit of a question mark in terms of production, but he showed that he could put up numbers in the blowout win. He hit all five of his free throws and was 5-for-9 from the floor. It will be interesting to see what kind of minutes he gets when Jones starts.
