ESPN.com revealed its postseason awards for the 2019-20 college basketball season today and Kentucky earned some hardware.
Immanuel Quickley took home the award for “Breakout Star,” edging out Minnesota’s Daniel Oturu for the honor.
The explanation from the story:
A former five-star recruit, Quickley always had the talent but didn’t have the role to really become a go-to offensive player. As a freshman, Quickley was behind Ashton Hagans and one-and-done wings Tyler Herro and Keldon Johnson on the perimeter, and then five-star guard Tyrese Maxey entered the program this season and dropped 26 points in his first game.
