Source 1 "Platoon System"- Paraphrase

The “Platoon System”, established under John Calipari not only provided life for The University of Kentucky’s basketball team, but it also provided an important defensive weapon. The Platoon System was introduced in 2014, and consisted of playing 10 men in legions of five. Each platoon includes 3 ball handlers and 2 taller players. What makes the Platoon System so special is that most teams cannot play two seven foot players on the court at all time. Since 2012, the Wildcats head coach John Calipari has been on the top of the high school basketball recruiting mountain. Recruiting has always been paramount for John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats. According to the Washington Post, Calipari’s teams have been a defensive powerhouse, historically ranking in the top 50 in Ken Pomeroy’s defensive debate. Because of his successful recruiting John Calipari is able to bring in elite talent, and does not have to use a mundane 2-3 zone, or man to man defensive tactics to gain a defensive edge. Due to the use of four seven foot front court players, Kentucky has had the ability to display their defensive shot blocking presence. During the 2014 college basketball season, teams had no answer for the platoon system. Most, used a pick and roll offense that was easily defended by the Wildcats length. John Calipari is also famous for his ability to recruit world class talent for his basketball team every year. Due to the dominating success that John Calipari has been able to engineer during his tenure as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, it should come as no surprise that his players tend to enter the NBA Draft after their first season. Therefore initiating a culture of one-and-done’s. In 2018, an overwhelming standing statistic is that any player that John Calipari has coached that chose to enter the NBA Draft after their first season was drafted. This statistic started way back in 2002 with Dajuan Wagner, and has been unparalleled in its success. As of the 2018 NBA Draft coach calipari has 25-25 on drafted players. Unfortunately the streak came to a halt when 2018 Kentucky Wildcat, Jarred Vanderbilt tried his hand at the NBA draft but was not drafted.Kyle Agnews "feedback"

Rafiq, Your sandbox was full of colorful and very descriptive word choice. But with all good there are some downfalls to your paragraphs you had some minor miss spelling and i feel as if you got a better understanding of your topic your paper would really start to flow and come together very nicely. let me know if you would like me to review anything in the future.

I think everything that you have typed is very good, I think you have a lot of detail and show a lot of inspiration in your article. I feel that if I can find anything to correct you on, I would say that its probably your grammar choosing, but that is very minor. I think some of the basketball terminology may be confusing to some people that aren't very familiar with sports.

Your sources are very good and the paraphrasing is excellent. There are a few minor errors that can be easily fixed in just a few seconds. Other than that the overall paraphrasing is very good and you did an excellent job. Way to go!

You additions are interesting. Some suggestions: 1) Add a topic sentence before your addition such as "John Calipari is also famous for introducing..." 2) It seems that you mentioned two successful strategies that John Calipari used: Platoon system and recruiting. If so, you can revise your paragraph by adding transitional words so that your audience can follow you better. 3) There are some terminology or proper names that audience may no be familiar with. So, you need to either explain them or add a link to the specific Wikipedia articles. 4) Please proofread your additions.
