Kentucky sophomore big man Daimion Collins is a breakout season away from possibly elevating the 2022-23 Wildcats into a tier of its own. The lanky 6-foot-9 native of Texas showcased plenty of raw potential as a freshman, but a lack of consistency relegated him to the bench as the schedule toiled along. Despite coming to Lexington as a prized five-star recruit, he elected to return for another season as he looks to mold himself into the lottery pick he’s been projected as in the past.
Throughout the offseason, Collins has been working plenty on his game, but it’s been in the weight room and the kitchen where he’s building himself into a more well-rounded basketball player.
