Kentucky’s 6-foot-9 pogo stick, Daimion Collins, was arguably the team’s most improved player in the Bahamas from last season’s squad. Potential breakout star Jacob Toppin has a claim for that title, too, while freshman Adou Theiro and Illinois State transfer Antonio Reeves were the most surprising on the program’s summer foreign trip. Still, Collins looked like a completely different player as he enters year two in Lexington.
During Kentucky’s Big Blue Bahamas Tour, Collins averaged 10.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in 20.
