Toward the end of his freshmen season, Keion Brooks emerged as a potential star. He played a major role in Kentucky’s big win over Florida to end the 2019-2020 season, and as the only returner the next year he had high expectations.
However, Brooks’ sophomore campaign did not start out as expected. He was injured from the get-go and did not appear in a single game until January 9th. Brooks averaged 10.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. There were times when he looked like he was figuring out how to lead this team, but ultimately he ended up struggling alongside everyone else.
