Over the last few weeks, Jacob Toppin has been remaking his case as a future NBA Draft pick.
While his name still isn’t floating around mock draft boards like it had been over the summer, the 6-foot-9 super-athlete continues to add to his intrigue from front office executives. Toppin started the 2022-23 season strong against inferior competition, but he self-admittedly slipped into a dark place right before SEC play began. It took back-to-back benchings against Florida A&M and Missouri in late December in order for him to find a way out.
But once he did, the same version of Toppin that Kentucky fans saw in the Bahamas emphatically announced his return.
