John Calipari is pleased with Brandon Knight’s development as Kentucky’s point guard.

"Early in the season, he was still trying to figure it out," Calipari said. "All the point guards I've had have done that, but as the season goes on, there's that point where you say wow. He's starting to hit that stride, but you've got to finish that way. It was at different times for all of them."

Last month, Calipari urged Knight to "capture the middle of the floor," so he could maximize his weapons against the opponent.

"He can see people up the floor that are open," Calipari said. "When you go down the side, you're playing against five defenders. In the middle of the floor, they can't do that. We got away from that and that's as much my fault. Early on, that's what we talked about, even before we went to Canada."

Calipari also praised Knight’s newfound ability to draw contact.

"He's not settling for jumpers," Calipari said. "He's getting to the rim, capturing the middle of the floor in transition."
