Quickley has performed well in Kentucky’s Bahamas tour, showing out in their recent victory over Mega Bemax. He might end up earning a starting spot in Kentucky’s deep backcourt. He’s also establishing himself as a first-round prospect.

At 6-foot-3, Quickley has given the Wildcats nice versatility on the offensive end. He can play off the ball, spotting up next to Ashton Hagans and Quade Green. He has also showed some distributing chops in transition.

One of several impressive defenders on the Kentucky roster, Quickley has prototypical size for the point guard spot. He’s excellent at the point of attack, using his length and quickness to choke off driving lanes and force turnovers.

This looks like one of the best Kentucky teams in recent memory, boasting the perfect blend of versatility, defensive energy and veteran experience. Expect them to go far, and Quickley will be a big part of their success.
