EJ Montgomery on his breakout performance: “I knew my time was coming.”

Going into yesterday’s game, the 6-foot-10 prospect out of Fort Pierce, Fla. has seen point totals of eight, six, ten, six, eight, and seven, but he has been wildly inconsistent. As a result, we’ve seen a significant drop in minutes, with Montgomery not seeing over 15 minutes in a game since the first of December.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari has preached that he’s waiting for a “breakthrough” moment with the elite prospect where the world can finally see how talented he can really be. He has reportedly done it in practice, but translating that to in-game success just hasn’t happened yet.
