LEXINGTON — So much for lowered expectations.

As the lowest-ranked recruit of Kentucky basketball’s four healthy freshmen, shooting guard Johnny Juzang might normally be projected to ease into college basketball in what would likely be a multiyear stay in Lexington. The performance of Tyler Herro last season has raised the bar, though.

Like Herro, Juzang is projected to fill a role as a sharp-shooting source of instant offense on the perimeter for Kentucky.
