Efrem Montgomery Jr. entered the McDonald’s All-American Game as one of only a handful of uncommitted players. After spending the week with the best recruits from around the country, it took him only a few days to decide he wanted to play at the University of Kentucky.
You may have heard that EJ Montgomery talks about modeling his name after former Wildcat great Anthony Davis. That could mean a lot of things, as Davis is one of the most versatile basketball players in the world.
But when it comes down to it, Montgomery has modeled Davis’ game with two primary goals:
1. Own the rim on both ends of the court.
2. Be a 6’11” guard.
Montgomery has always been tall, but he has also been focused on guard skills. He is a phenomenal ball-handler for his size, and he has court vision on the fast break is very impressive.
He is also an established shooter, which is rare in college basketball for a 6’11” player but is almost essential in the NBA. He is a lefty with soft touch and he can make shots from the perimeter consistently.

He sounds special and can't wait to see our new Cats in action, as a 6'11' with guard skills he has a lot going for himself and our Cats.
