per Sid:
Pitino and his coaching staff have been able to work out the players a few times, but he said on that limited basis, it’s difficult to say who is best fitted for his style of play because the workouts were simply based on skill development.
“It wasn’t competitive. It wasn’t 5-on-5. It’s hard to tell how good they’re going to be right now because until you put guys in 5-on-5 situations — certain guys look good in workouts where other guys don’t,” Pitino said. “So it’s kind of hard to really speculate that right now. I’ll have a better feel when we can start playing 5-on-5.”
Pitino has also asked a number of players to work on their weight and conditioning, by either adding pounds, or shedding them.
“[Mo Walker] has already lost 20 pounds. Charles Buggs has already put on about 15 pounds. Those guys are committed to getting their body right,” Pitino said. “Elliott Eliason was doing really well. He’s over in Italy right now studying abroad. They’re all committed, they’ve all been great. It’s just a matter of our frontcourt more than our back court getting in shape.”
