Keion Brooks Jr. averaged just over 15.1 minutes per game last season, but toward the end of the year saw an expanded role that led to him being the “go-to” guy at the end of the regular season finale against Florida. He averaged just 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, but he is expected to lead the Wildcats this season as the most experienced returning player.
According to former Wildcat Nate Sestina, Brooks is ready for that challenge.
“Keion Brooks is about to have a huge sophomore year,” Sestina told Shawn Smith on the Kentucky Daily podcast.
