Coaches respond to Jacob Toppin's new physique, confidence, 3-point shot

From everything we’ve heard out of the Joe Craft Center this summer, Jacob Toppin is one of the stars of Kentucky’s early workouts. The springy senior from Brooklyn is now in his third season in Lexington, and after going through the NBA Draft evaluation process, has a newfound determination. In addition to working on his outside shot, Toppin spent the offseason working on his body, adding much-needed muscle and bulk to his 6’9″ 200 lbs. frame. As a result, Chin Coleman and Orlando Antigua believe you’ll see an improved post presence from Toppin to complement his trademark athleticism.
