The 5’7” dynamic sophomore point guard flashed his bag of tricks last season as a true freshman. Chris Lykes became an entire highlight reel during some games by breaking the ankles of opponents, launching beyond NBA range three-pointers, and driving into the lane to finish acrobatic layups. In his freshman campaign, Lykes averaged 9.6 points and 2.3 assists while shooting 40% from the field, 34.5% beyond the arc, and 72% from the charity stripe.
For most of the season, Lykes was a spark off the bench for Coach L’s team, but started 10 games in part to an injury to Bruce Brown Jr.
