With a return to Kentucky, Calipari believes Immanuel Quickley could take over lead point guard role

Out of all of the players on the current Kentucky basketball roster, sophomore guard Immanuel Quickley has the toughest decision to make regarding his future.

On one hand, the 6-foot-3 guard out of Havre de Grace, MD made an unprecedented jump as a sophomore, going from averaging 5.2 points in 18.5 minutes per game in year one to 16.1 points in 33 minutes per contest in year two. It was a jump that earned him SEC Player of the Year and All-SEC First Team honors this season.

On the other, Quickley’s role as a slightly undersized off-ball scorer hasn’t earned him much credit on the draft boards, as most analysts have the sophomore guard currently listed anywhere from the middle of the second round to undrafted.
