He’s currently projected to be a mid-first round pick, but the word is that he wants a guaranteed lottery selection. He was one of the best shot-blockers in the nation and was the team’s leading rebounder. Isaiah Jackson was the only Kentucky player this season to be recognized with an All-SEC selection as he made the All-Freshman team for the conference. Next season’s frontcourt will be jam-packed with talent, so it will be very interesting to see what Keion decides to do. Some think he may test out the NBA waters, but he currently isn’t projected to get picked anywhere near the first round. There have been transfer rumors, which have been shot down by Brooks and his father. Unfortunately, the struggles continued, but Keion had a few solid games and ended up being one of the better contributors in the later part of the year. Keion Brooks missed the start of the season, and some fans thought that his return would turn the team’s luck around. Mintz isn’t currently projected to get drafted, so it will be interesting to see what decision he makes. As a guy who can play both guard positions, I think it would help next year’s team substantially to have him back. His experience, grit, and cold-blooded ability to hit shots made him the team’s MVP towards the end of the season. He was bar-none the best shooter, passer, and leader that this team had.

(2021-22 Kentucky Basketball) Players Still Awaiting Decision: NEW YORK, NY – NOVEMBER 05: Kentucky Wildcats forward Keion Brooks (12) during the first half of the 2019 State Farm Champions Classic college basketball game between the Michigan State Spartans and the Kentucky Wildcats on Novemat Madison Square Garden in New York, NY. It hasn’t been officially confirmed that Ware will be back next season, but the consensus is that he will be. Lance is a super talented big man with great measurables, he just has to put it all together. What he did do, however, was show a ton of grit and heart. Lance Ware wasn’t a massive piece for this team, as he struggled to contribute much statistically. If he becomes anywhere near the college player that his brother Obi was, we’re in for a treat with Jacob Toppin. He showed raw talent this year, and is a guy who will be very valuable moving forward. His numbers weren’t anything fantastic, but Toppin brought energy to a team that desperately needed it. Jacob Toppin wasn’t even expected to be eligible this past season, and it’s a good thing he ended up getting cleared. He is a prolific shooter who showed flashes of brilliance this year, so it will be exciting to see what he can do next season. Transfer rumors circulated around Allen because of his lack of playtime, but the Falmouth, KY native made his choice to come back to Lexington. Only time will tell.ĭontaie Allen was a fan-favorite this season, and as one of the only players on the roster who could shoot the three, it’s a good thing he decided to come back. Askew will look to improve upon his abysmal season, and hopefully make a Sophomore jump similar to what we saw from Immanuel Quickley.
