Updated February 17, 2016 with ratios of additional Kentucky point guards
Coaches typically want a 3:1 assist/TO ratio from their PG’s. though few ever get it. Kentucky has had it fair share of talented point guards especially since Calipari has been coach. So let’s look at the A/TO ratio of some of those famous names.
Anthony Epps – 2.8/1
Kyle Macy – 2.4/1
Roger Harden – 2.2/1
Sean Sutton – 2.0/1
Sean Woods – 1.9/1
Dirk Minifield – 1.8/1
Travis Ford – 1.7/1
Marquis Teague – 1.7/1
Ryan Harrow 1.7/1
Andrew Harrison – 1.7/1
Dickie Beal – 1.7/1
Wayne Turner – 1.6/1
John Wall – 1.6/1
Cliff Hawkins – 1.5/1
Ed Davender – 1.4/1
Brandon Knight – 1.2/1
Cameron Mills – 1.1/1
I know you all were wondering what my ratio was so I threw it in at the bottom. 🙂 My blistering ratio was achieved with 53 assists to 47 turnovers. That’s efficiency, folks.
Amazingly, Tyler Ulis leads this list of Who’s Who of Kentucky point guards with a career ratio of 3.45/1 and a sizzling 3.5/1 for this season.

Even more ridiculously, he is increasing his ratio quickly. In his last four games Tyler Ulis has 36 assists to just four turnovers. That’s a laughable 9/1 ratio.
Coach Cal: here's the biggest thing. (Tyler Ulis) is playing way better than he was a month ago.

That’s truly ridiculous and I would have thought unattainable for more than one game, let alone four.
There has been a lot of talk about where Tyler ranks among the greatest PG’s in Kentucky’s history. Well, judging from this singular stat alone he’s not only the best, it’s not even close.
