Immanuel Quickley is becoming not only one of the best feel-good stories in the 2019-20 college hoops season, but also in the entire John Calipari era
Considering Calipari has coached 38 NBA Draft picks at Kentucky, that’s saying something, but it’s becoming more true each game Kentucky plays and wins thanks to Quickley.
His latest performance was a career-high 30-point outburst in Kentucky’s 69-60 win at Texas A&M, which came one game after Quickley scored 26 — 22 of which came in the second half — in a 65-59 win over Florida. There’s no question Quickley deserves the SEC Player of the Year award and All-American honors, as he’s established himself as one of the best players in college basketball.
What makes this story even more special is how far Quickley has come after a forgettable freshman season in which he averaged 5.2 points. Apparently, other programs tried to convince Quickley to transfer over the summer, according to Fox Sports reporter Aaron Torres.

Quickley---39.2 minutes per game, 16.2 points, 1.9 assists, 4 boards, 41.9 f/g%, 42.9 point 3 point%, 91.5 f/t%. Now those are some fantastic stats! To top it off he only turns it over 1.5 times per game.

Quickley's defense has improved enough that he's probably the second best defender on the team!

Quickly finished with 18 points today, but the Team defense was KEY to today's victory!

If I remember correctly, when we played them on their floor, they shot 44 freebies to our 24.
