Adou Thiero has all the potential to eventually become one of the best guards in the country. He’s strong, should have a continually improving shot from deep, and can finish at the rim while defending at a high level and being a solid rebounder.
Obviously, to reach that ceiling, the opportunity will have to be there as well, but Thiero, who started in the Kentucky Wildcats’ exhibition games, appears to be in line to be among the first five on the court for head coach John Calipari. The sophomore will need to put everything together as he enters his second season at Kentucky.
