The only reason the Twin Towers worked at Kentucky is because both Turpin and Bowie could hit the 15-footer at a high clip.

Neither Cauley-Stein nor Noel can do that, as of now. That means teams will slough off and double-team the post front and back, banking on the inability of either to hit enough of those to matter.

Calipari's a great coach, but even he may struggle teaching 7-foot 18-year-olds how to hit 60% of their elbow jumpers after they've been shoved under a basket their entire lives. Especially considering he'd have only a month or two to teach it.
