Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a four star recruit from Chattanooga, Tennessee, is bringing his talents to Lexington to make his mark on Kentucky Basketball. Standing at 6-5, Alexander will be looking to be the next combo guard, presenting problems for opponents. Overshadowed by all the five stars Kentucky is bringing in, people will most likely underappreciate him.
Chosen to Third Team All-USA and to the Derby Festival Classic, Alexander has been outperforming his current ranking. He is the 34th ranked prospect overall, and the second ranked combo guard. Alexander received good offers from Power 5 schools, highlighted by Florida, Kansas, and Kentucky.
