Due to a reclassification and a late commitment, Kentucky fans knew less about Ashton Hagans going into the Bahamas than the rest of Kentucky’s freshmen players. Expectations were high, but what exactly he would bring to the team remained to be seen.
After four games in the Bahamas, several things became abundantly clear. Hagans will be one of the best perimeter defenders that John Calipari has had at Kentucky, he will be a terror to opposing back courts, and he is a lot of fun to watch on both ends of the court.
Hagans led the Wildcats in steals with 2 per game, shot an efficient 53% from the floor, and was third on the team in offensive rebounds.
