There will be a men's basketball press conference on Tuesday, April, 17 at 7:00 p.m. ET in the Joe Craft Center men's basketball practice gym with UK head coach John Calipari and underclassmen Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Doron Lamb and Marquis Teague.
"As is the case with all of my point guards, Marquis is a different player than my last four lead guards. He possesses incredible speed and he's a physical finisher. Marquis may be the best pick-and-roll guard we've ever had, so we may use more pick-and-roll sets this year. He also has the ability to be a lockdown defender." -- Head coach John Calipari
