JP Wilkins: Kentucky's New Scoring Threat

0:00On May 1st, JP Wilkins just transferred from Ferman to the Kentucky Wildcats, and he's already turning heads as a 6-foot-5 guard with Sirius, scoring chops from his true freshman year. In the NCAA tournament clash against Yukon, he dropped 21 points on 8-15 shooting from the field, and 4-8 from 3, plus 4 assists showing he can ball with the elite. Fans and analysts are hyped, seeing him as the natural score Kentucky needs next season. Likely playing off the ball next to Zoom Diallo to maximize. His buckets. The big question is the leap from the Southern Conference to the SEC, but with a full summer to grind and adjust, Wilkins has time to level up and average over 15 points a game as the secondary star. Kentucky coach Mark Pope still needs that main guy to pair with him, but if Wilkins delivers, the Wildcats could make real noise come fall.
