The overwhelming majority of John Calipari-led Kentucky teams were not known as ones that would physically wear down the opponent. Outside of the outlier that was the Platoon System in 2014-15, which was more about depth than pure speed, the Wildcats have never been a team that purposfully tries to outpace the opponent for 40 minutes.
But the 2016-17 version of the Kentucky Wildcats sure came close. That roster was, without a doubt, the fastest that Calipari has put together during his time in Lexington. One might argue Cal’s first squad that featured the likes of John Wall and Eric Bledsoe is up there, too, and the Tyler Ulis/Jamal Murray backcourt sure could put on the burners.
