Ashton Hagans thinks Kentucky’s backcourt in 2019-20 could be “one of the best” we’ll ever see

From the time he first announced his return to Kentucky this offseason, the Big Blue Nation has been downright giddy about what we might see out of Wildcat point guard Ashton Hagans in his second year.

And this afternoon, the 6-foot-3 sophomore didn’t do much to temper those expectations.

In our first media opportunity with Kentucky’s four key returning players today, Hagans was asked about his early thoughts on his new partner in the backcourt, Tyrese Maxey, and just how good they can be together this season.

Not only does Hagans believe they can be good together, he actually believes that the Kentucky backcourt this year just might be the best of the John Calipari era in Lexington.
