The Importance of Isaiah Jackson

In recent weeks I have broken down the importance of transfers Davion Mintz and Olivier Sarr. Mintz will provide a steadying presence in the backcourt as the true Freshman guards/wings develop early on in the season. There are obviously still questions surrounding Sarr’s eligibility, but he has the potential to be a SEC Player of the Year type performer. Still, whether he ends up being eligible or not, Kentucky will be in desperate need of some front court depth after both Nick Richards and E.J. Montgomery decided to enter the NBA Draft. The primary candidate to eat up some of those minutes as the backup 5-man is Isaiah Jackson.
