Sacha Killeya-Jones scored 31 despite constant double-, triple-teams

SKJ is the lowest rated and most overlooked player in what what might turn out to be the best class ever signed at Kentucky. He has length and advanced scoring skills. Numbers on the roster suggest that SKJ will have to fight hard for playing time, but I think it's likely that he will take time away from returning players and earn an important role in the rotation.

Its all going to end up being.... does he have the fight in him? Towns, Boogie, Noel, and Davis all had that fight in them to battle for position, to fight through fouls etc. Unfortunately to this point, Skal has not had the fight in him ... But SKJ has the skills , thats for sure but when he's met up against guys his size that will try to bully him.... will he step up to the occasion? I hope the answer is yes because if so, our class is going to be absolutely crazy
 
VES has a PG signed to Pitt, a PF committed to Western Carolina, and an SG that had an offer to VMI. Double and triple teaming him while at least three other Division I players are on the court? In a triple-team situation, at best you are leaving another Division I player wide open

PG is suspended; PF is out for year. Neither played last two games.
 
Killeya Jones is very underrated. He's long, athletic, and very skilled. He'll be a key contributor off the bench next season. He's got a killer mid range game. Hopefully he'll be as deadly from mid range as Lyles was. But Bam and Bolden are going to be our starters at the 4-5. SKJ will backup at the 4 and 5. And then Gabriel (If he doesn't start) will backup the 3 and 4 along with Willis. I look for one of Gabriel and Willis to play more 3 than 4. It would be simple if Ulis leaves, because then you got Gabriel starting at the 3. But lets all pray Ulis returns.
