We missed a total of like 22-23 shots from 5 feet in someone said. Noel missed at least 7 himself.
21 offensive rebouds for 6 points is pathetic.
There is too much one on one ball. They play bad defense, they get back in transition defense poorly, and overall don't hustle. Until they commit to team ball, and playing within the system, they will fail. It will start with defense.
My opinion, and I LOVE my Kats:
Poythress: looks lethargic, and completely disinterested. Always in slow motion.
Noel: Zero touch around the basket. Catches the ball in the middle of the zone and doesn't attack.
Goodwin: (my favorite) Wreckless and immature. Extremely skilled, but not polished. Best athlete on the floor most nights.
Mayes: Beast. Plays within himself and the system.
Witjer: Lost his mojo - seriosuly. He's in sophomore slump. Quit you-tubing and shoot an hour before and after practice. Complete liability on defense - pathetic post defender.
Cauley-Stein: Needs more floor time. Too athletic to sit, and makes things happen more times than not on the floor. He will be a beast before it is all said and done.
Harrow: Silky-smooth, just needs some floor time. Needs to prove a consistent jumper.

I agree with your assessments with perhaps the exception of Harrow. Maybe more floor time will be the trick with him, but right now he doesn't look like the "floor general" UK needs. He also need to be more aggressive on offense and drive/draw/dish.
Poythress can be a beast, but he needs to play harder when he is out there.
They all need to work on defense,and not leaving their feet when faked.
This team will be fine, but we were spoiled by last year too...
