Kyle Wiltjer talked about a number of subjects during Kentucky’s interview time Wednesday.

On how the team is divided in practice …
“There have been a ton of lineups, so there really hasn’t been one specific lineup. (coach) Cal (Calipari) has been doing a great job of putting together as many lineups as possible so we can get comfortable playing with each other since there are so many new guys out there. He has been really good at getting a bunch of lineups together.”

On possible starters and whether there’s any talking about it amongst teammates …
“Coach does a great job of getting us to work hard, and not worry about that stuff and just work hard individually and in practice to improve as a team. I don’t think anyone knows who is starting at this point.”

On learning to play with new teammates …
“It is interesting and it is great because all these guys are great learners as well. (They’ve) been able to pick up (the offense) fast so we have been fortunate to have another great group of guys who are able to come in and work hard and learn a new system.”

On the mixing and matching of lineups in practice compared to last year …
“It was kind of similar. We did that last year. This year there is a lot more because there are a lot more new guys so we are getting as many lineups as possible so we learn how to play together.”

On scrimmaging more this year …
“When we scrimmage a lot, we get to learn each other more. I think he (Coach Calipari) is happy where we are at, but he is never satisfied and he wants more of us. We are looking to move forward and we know we still have a lot of work to do to be better.”

On where this team is at compared to last year …
“Maybe a little ahead because we got to practice during the summer and that is the only thing. We are definitely making a lot of progress and we still have a lot of work to do.”
