Tyler Ulis

Predicting Tyler Ulis to be the most improved player on the Kentucky roster seems like a no-brainer based off of what his role will be this year compared to last year.

The numbers we expect Ulis to improve on are his points per game, steals per game and even rebounds per game as he becomes a more integral part of the lineup.

Not only will Ulis make a leap forward statistically, but also he will have a chance to grow mentally and physically as the NBA comes calling.

Marcus Lee

Although he will be overshadowed by the entrance of Skal Labissiere to the starting lineup and the return of Alex Poythress, Marcus Lee has the potential to turn himself into a key contributor off the bench.

Although we aren't expecting superstar-like numbers from Lee, we should see him improve his minutes and rebounds per contest. If he gets around the bucket enough, he could also make an impact in the points department.

Dominique Hawkins

One player who may not see a ton of playing time but will improve his resume when he does step on the court is Dominique Hawkins.

The junior guard hasn't produced much in his first two seasons, but with depth not a massive strength like it was in the past, Hawkins could mold himself into a decent contributor during times of need for Kentucky.

We don't expect a ton out of Hawkins this season, but he definitely has a chance of contributing if the starting guards get in foul trouble.
