Only three rotational players from last season’s Kentucky men’s basketball roster are back for another year with the Wildcats. One of them is veteran sharpshooting guard Antonio Reeves — a critical returning piece for head coach John Calipari who will provide the ‘Cats with much-needed experience and high-level scoring.
The other two players coming back to Lexington, however, saw very limited roles as freshmen in 2022-23. Rising sophomores Adou Thiero and Ugonna Onyenso appeared in just 20 and 16 games, respectively, last season. Neither averaged more than 10 minutes per contest, either.
