With the tip-off of Kentucky’s 2018-2019 men’s basketball season less than two weeks away, three freshman on the roster find themselves in the top-15 of 247 Sports’ 2019 NBA Big Board.
Ashton Hagans, EJ Montgomery and Keldon Johnson made the list, giving Kentucky three players to tie the Duke Blue Devils for most in the top-15. Although, the order of which the three players were ranked may come as a surprise.
Montgomery was the highest-ranked Wildcat, sitting at ninth on the list. Though he had an efficient Blue-White game, it’s unclear yet as to how many minutes the skilled big man shall receive.
