That's pretty much a no brainer as they are hands down very talented freshmen.

Not only does Sports Illustrated college basketball writer David Gardner think Kentucky will have two of the top 10 high-impact freshmen next season, but he has Southeastern Conference players in the first three spots.

He picked LSU's Ben Simmons No. 1, UK's Skal Labissiere No. 2 and Mississippi State's Malik Newman No. 3. Kentucky guard Jamal Murray is at No. 6.

Here's what Gardner wrote about Labissiere: "A true 7-footer, Labissiere is known as a rim-protector and has a surprisingly good jump shot. He could progress along the same trajectory as Karl-Anthony Towns did a season ago in the same uniform. By the end of the season, Labissiere should be a dominant force on a team that will be eyeing its fifth Final Four in six seasons."

Gardner likes Murray just as much. Here's what he wrote about him:

"Kentucky will be deep again this year, and how Wildcats coach John Calipari sorts out playing time between sophomore point guard Tyler Ulis, incoming freshman point guard Isaiah Briscoe and Murray will be interesting to watch. Murray and Briscoe are both excellent shot creators, so Calipari may employ some small-ball lineups if the offense needs energy. After the summer he’s had, it seems a safe bet that he’s in store for a big winter."
