“The Sacha now would enjoy playing against the Sacha last year,” Sacha Killeya-Jones told reporters during a roundtable discussion in August.
From the sound of things in Fletcher Page’s piece at The Courier-Journal on Killeya-Jones, SKJ sounded like a new person and a player that’s ready for a bigger spotlight in Lexington for the 2017-18 season.
Killeya-Jones appeared in just 15 games for Kentucky during his freshman season. SKJ didn’t play a prominent role in UK’s run to the Elite Eight, but he technically enters his sophomore season as a “veteran” of John Calipari’s program because that’s just how things roll in Lexington each season.
