Davion Mintz was Kentucky's go-to player last season, but now that he has more help around him, what will his role look like for the 2021-22 season?
The last piece of the Kentucky Wildcats' roster puzzle ended up being the return of Davion Mintz when he announced he would exercise his final/extra year of eligibility on July 1st.
In a season to forget, Mintz became the catalyst for everything that actually did go Kentucky's way last season and became a fan favorite seemingly overnight.
Mintz progressed into the role of Kentucky's best player last season and, some nights, it wasn't particularly close. At 11.5 points per game, he tied with Brandon Boston Jr. as the team's leading scorer by average and led the team in total points scored by one.
