Killeya-Jones didn’t make a huge impact at Kentucky – averaging just 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in an average of 13.7 minutes per game in 2017-18. He averaged just over three points per contest over 49 career games at UK, with no starts. But he played a more considerable role for the Wildcats down the stretch this past season after freshman Jarred Vanderbilt suffered an ankle injury...

"The past 2 years at Kentucky have been an amazing journey and I want to thank all of my coaches, teammates and fans who made it possible," he said on Twitter. "After much deliberation with my family, I have decided that it is in my best interest to ask for my release and explore other opportunities at this time."
