kentucky rotation: Lost in the shuffle for two years behind a parade of future NBA draft picks, the 6-foot-9 Willis earned his way into Kentucky rotation as a junior and finally showed the talent that coach John Calipari had insisted was always there, according to The Waterloo Record. Willis is a projected starter as the second-ranked Wildcats open Friday night against Stephen F. Austin with another roster of young talent. Breaking out as an offensive contributor has spurred Kentucky forward Derek Willis to want to have the same impact on the defensive end. The confidence in his shooting during the preseason along with a willingness to fight for rebounds figures to make him a part of Calipari developing rotations. Once I figure this out, Ill help this team out even more than I have. I feel like I really know my role, and there are things I still need to work on, said Willis, who averaged career bests of 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 18.6 minutes with 11 starts last season.
