ANALYSIS
Kentucky already lost two underclassmen to the 2020 NBA Draft in Tyrese Maxey and Ashton Hagans and could say goodbye to another in Immanuel Quickley, so Brooks' decision to stick around in Lexington is a critical development for the Wildcats. Brooks was a part of a four-man forward rotation with Kahlil Whitney, Nate Sestina and EJ Montgomery as a freshman, appearing in 31 games (six starts) and averaging 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds in 15.2 minutes. With Whitney having since left the team and Sestina exhausting his eligibility, Brooks should see his playing time pick up as a sophomore.
