In the wise words of Brandon Garrison (via his Instagram Story), Kentucky freshman Jasper Johnson is a “bad, bad man.”
After watching him hit side-step three-pointers and twisting layups around defenders, the Big Blue Nation would fully agree.
On Friday night in Rupp Arena, Johnson led the way for No. 9 Kentucky in the Wildcats’ impressive 78-65 exhibition win over top-ranked Purdue. Helping fill in for the injured Jaland Lowe at point guard, Johnson poured in 15 points, three assists, and two rebounds in just 19 minutes.
