ESPN Says Immanuel Quickley is Kentucky’s Most Exciting Player

According to ESPN, Immanuel Quickley will be Kentucky’s most exciting player in 2018-19.

Here is what ESPN says about Quickley:




1. Kentucky: Immanuel Quickley

Quickley is a smooth, 6-foot-3 guard who is patient enough to wait for the right play. He has a high basketball IQ, but he won’t fly through the air for windmill dunks.

Still, he’s the flour of this Kentucky cake, a savvy leader and playmaker with a lot of Mike Conley in his game.

You will notice that ESPN also has the Wildcats ranked No. 1 in their Way-Too-Early Top 25.

A former Kentucky player is considered the most exciting player on Michigan’s team:

17. Michigan: Charles Matthews

When Loyola-Chicago faced Michigan in the Final Four, it was clear early that the Ramblers would struggle to contain Matthews, a 6-6 wing. He’s athletic and strong, a player who can score anywhere.

He’s also a perplexing defender who can guard any position on a college court. His seven steals in the NCAA tournament highlighted his versatility.
