Kentucky Wildcats sophomore Immanuel Quickly told Jonathan Givony of ESPN on Monday morning that he will sign with an agent and enter the 2020 NBA Draft.
The SEC Player of the Year averaged 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 30 games played while he shot 42.8% from 3-point range. He shot 92.3% from the free-throw line, ranking sixth-best among all underclassmen in the country.
Quickly struggled during his freshman campaign, averaging just 5.2 points in 37 games, but bounced back in a big way during the 2019-20 season and established himself as a potential first-round prospect. He is projected to be selected 30th in the latest 2020 NBA Rookie Wire Mock Draft.

The 6-foot-3 guard projects to be a two-way player at the next level given his ability to shoot from beyond the arc and defend.
Quickly has a lethal floater after ranking inside the top 10 in points scored from floaters, per Synergy, and his 6-foot-10 wingspan that will certainly intrigue teams.
