Beckham Black is worth the money.
He knows how to play PG. Tough, can shoot, great passer.
Jordan Smith was a weird one to me coming out of high school. He's a great kid, plays hard, scores thru contact. But didn't seem like a PG at all in his film. Surprised he was ranked as high as he was.

He needs to start getting more violent attacking the rim. Force the refs to call fouls.

He would just miss the free throws.

Unfortunately you are probably right.

Typical early season Calipari team (when loaded with freshmen). They'll be great after January.

Nah. 4 seed or higher. This team is eerily similar to a bunch of his older UK teams that always took time to gel. Hell some of those teams lost early season games to mid majors at home.

Arkansas has a tough non conference schedule with North Carolina on the road, Michigan State and Arizona at neutral sites.
Last year they only had three losses headed towards conference play.
I can't see them winning out in non conference and they don't need to lose more than three unless they run the SEC gauntlet which that is very unlikely.
So likely a 5 or 6.
They needed to win the SEC tournament to get a 4 seed last year and I don't believe they try to this season for various reasons.

It's gonna take a while for this team to gel. You would hope it would happen before conference play starts.

Doubtful with a team full of freshmen.
