WATCH: Jaxson Robinson gets Mic'd Up for practice

The second week of summer practice for Kentucky men’s basketball is in the books.

With that, we’ve been gifted another “Mic’d Up” segment from the team’s social media account. We’ve already seen head coach Mark Pope and point guard Lamont Butler get the special microphone treatment, and now, we get to hear from 6-foot-6 shooting guard Jaxson Robinson.

Watch below as Robinson, who transferred to Kentucky after spending the last two seasons playing for Pope at BYU, shows off his shooting touch (including an and-one from long range) and gives his new teammates some props.

Granted, we’re only getting practice highlights right now, but can the season just start tomorrow?

Robinson, the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year this past season, was viewed as the missing piece to Pope’s debut squad as the new coach at Kentucky before ultimately committing as the 12th roster addition. The two are quite familiar with each other from their time in Provo, UT.

Instead of making the leap to the NBA, Robinson elected to return for one more season of college ball where he’ll be a go-to scorer for the Wildcats in 2024-25. Pope is hoping that, with a brand-new roster in the fold, Robinson can help ease the transition for the rest of his teammates as someone who’s played in this system for multiple seasons.

“He’s a pretty good distiller of information for us and then also the vibe, the feel, the approach of the game,” Pope said of Robinson earlier this week. “He’s got a good sense of how we try to build a locker room and the things that are important to us in the locker room, and how we try and cultivate communication on the floor and he’s done a great job of being an example of that. He’s a really, really vital piece of that. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a NBA-caliber player. That always helps, too.“

At BYU in 2023-24, Robinson averaged 14.2 points per game off the bench while shooting 42.6 percent from the field, 35.4 percent from deep on 6.9 attempts per outing, and 90.8 percent from the free throw line.
