The 2019-20 college basketball season is still a few months away, but it’s never too early to start forecasting how things will go this year.

On Sunday, college basketball insider Andy Katz wrote about the SEC, naming the five players who he thinks will be the most important during the upcoming season.

As you can see below, he has Kentucky PG Ashton Hagans in the No. 1 spot, followed by three other guards and a big man:

All of those guys will figure in important roles for their teams, so it’ll be interesting to see who improves in a big way and who doesn’t.

They’ll be closely scrutinized all year long, so rising to the pressure of the SEC will be key for these players and their teams.
