It was a wait-and-see year for Kentucky forward Daimion Collins during his freshman campaign in Lexington. He had his moments, scoring in double figures three times and pulling down six-plus rebounds five times. His biggest performance came in a 10-point, six-rebound outing at Alabama, doing so in just nine minutes.
Overall, though, the 6-foot-10 forward averaged just 2.9 points (57.7% FG), 2.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.5 minutes per game. The flashes were there, but the consistency wasn’t.
Going into year two, Collins is ready to turn that potential into production as a core piece of the rotation.
