LaGerald Montrell Vick (born January 12, 1997) is an American college basketball player at the University of Kansas.

Vick, a native of Memphis, Tennessee was played sparingly as a freshman. In December 2015, he allegedly hit and kicked a female student. As a result of a university investigation, he was recommended for two years probation. He became part of the rotation as a sophomore, averaging 7.5 points with 40 percent shooting from three-point range.[1]

As a junior, Vick averaged 17 points per game in the first 12 games of his junior season.[2] Vick had a bit of a slump to close the regular season, scoring 14 points of the final three games. In the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, Vick scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting and collected four rebounds in a win over Seton Hall. He averaged 12.1 points and 4.8 boards on the Final Four Team.[3] Following the season, he announced he will enter the 2018 NBA Draft, but he will not hire agent allowing him return to Kansas for his remaining eligibility, as long as he decides by the combine.[4] He withdrew his name from the draft. He was initially undecided on if he will return Kansas, play in the NBA G-League, or transfer schools.[5] On June 29, 2018, Vick announced he will return to Kansas.[6]

Vick has a daughter.[3]
