“The Sacha now would enjoy playing against the Sacha last year,” Sacha Killeya-Jones told reporters during a roundtable discussion in August.
From the sound of things in Fletcher Page’s piece at The Courier-Journal on Killeya-Jones, SKJ sounded like a new person and a player that’s ready for a bigger spotlight in Lexington for the 2017-18 season.
Killeya-Jones appeared in just 15 games for Kentucky during his freshman season. SKJ didn’t play a prominent role in UK’s run to the Elite Eight, but he technically enters his sophomore season as a “veteran” of John Calipari’s program because that’s just how things roll in Lexington each season.
Although he’s almost as inexperienced as the likes of Kevin Knox, Quade Green and the rest of Calipari’s star-studded freshman class this season, Sacha Killeya-Jones could be a more important piece than you’d think. It’s easy to forget that SKJ was a five-star recruit himself last year that Calipari poached from Tar Heel Country in Chapel Hill.
"Toward the end of the year, I started learning a lot and a lot of things started to click,” Killeya-Jones said during the roundtable.
