With 37 official games of film at our disposal, the scouting report on Kentucky point guard Ashton Hagans is fairly well known at this point. While he struggled with his shot and turned the ball over too often (33 more turnovers than assists last season), the Wildcat sophomore has the potential to be a game-changer on defense, as shown during his seven-game stretch of three-plus steals per contest from December 22 to January 19.
As for Kentucky freshman Tyrese Maxey, however, his on-court production at the college level remains to be seen. While he was seen as one of the most dynamic scorers in high school basketball last year, the Big Blue Nation isn’t as well-versed on what the 6-foot-3 guard out of Garland, TX will bring to the table next season.
