Once regarded as the most lethal 3-pointer shooter in the Southeastern Conference — and possibly the country — Kellan Grady oddly lost his hot shooting touch down the stretch of his final collegiate season.
The fifth-year graduate student and former Davidson transfer shot just 6-30 from beyond the arc over Kentucky’s previous seven games, including a 1-7 mark in the Wildcats’ opening-round loss in the 2022 NCAA Tournament to the Saint Peter’s Peacocks. That’s just 20 percent during the most critical stretch of the season for a player that was heavily relied upon to open up the floor for Kentucky’s offense, particularly so Oscar Tshiebwe could do his work in the paint.
