Trey Lyles had just played arguably his best college game. The freshman forward scored a career high at Mississippi State on Wednesday, showing the kind of versatility 6-foot-10 players aren’t supposed to have.But afterward, John Calipari was thinking bigger.”He should have had 25 today,” Calipari said, with a caveat. “But I thought he played well.”Lyles would have to settle for 18 points and six rebounds as top-ranked Kentucky moved to 28-0 (15-0 Southeastern Conference) with a 74-56 win in snowy Starkville, Miss. The Indianapolis native got off to a quick start, scoring the Wildcats’ first basket on a lob dunk and 13 points within the first 15 minutes to make the illness that forced him to miss three games a not-so-distant memory.”He’s just getting healthy,” Calipari said. “He’s getting back to being who he is. You’re talking two-three weeks, I don’t know exactly how long he was out, but he was out awhile.”During the time Lyles spent away from his team, part of his treatment was to eat as much possible to avoid dropping pounds. He managed to stay near his listed weight of 235 pounds and now he’s working to reach his pre-sickness fitness level.”Lifting weights and doing extra stuff to try and get back to where I was, and I feel like I’m very close to that,” Lyles said.With Lyles on his way in that regard, Coach Cal is asking him to pick it up in terms of aggressiveness as well. Lyles is sixth among Wildcats in scoring, attempting barely six field goals per game, and Calipari doesn’t think that’s enough.”My thing to him is, dominate,” Calipari said. “Dominate rebounding around the rim. One-dribble pull-ups. Guard. Block shots. Do everything. You’re capable of doing it.”It’s the everything that makes Lyles so unique.While Willie Cauley-Stein might create the most highlights with his high-flying dunks and Karl-Anthony Towns the most NBA Draft buzz with his potential and production, Lyles has a quieter game. Splitting time between the perimeter and the post, Lyles does what’s asked of him and does it well.”Maybe by (the media), but no one that evaluates basketball (overlooks Lyles),” Calipari said. “They know how good he is. They know what he’s preparing for. I mean, he’s being trained as a three. He’s a 6-10, three-four and he’s being trained as a three. All I want him to do is shoot more balls.”For the coach of a team playing one of the deepest rotations in the country, that’s somewhat of an odd thing to have to tell a player to shoot more. Calipari, however, has good reason for doing so.”I still think at the end of the day he’ll be the X-factor for us,” Calipari said. “He’ll be the guy that they struggle to guard, that has offensive skills, that can still give us great size and rebounding ability.”Lyles has made an immediate difference since his return to the lineup. With him in the fold, UK has won the rebounding battle in four of five games after being outrebounded in three of the previous five.Now Coach Cal is hoping Lyles can use his performance against Mississippi State as a springboard to being a spark in other areas.”Let’s say this is the start, maybe, of something,” Calipari said.
