With Kevin Knox going to the NBA draft and two departures-by-transfer in Sacha Killeya-Jones and Tai Wynyard, Kentucky is guaranteed to be down at least three frontcourt players from a year ago. Throw in PJ Washington and Wenyen Gabriel, who are dipping their toes in the NBA waters, and UK could lose as many as five of its seven frontcourt players.
That leaves only two returners: Nick Richards, who started but played only 14 minutes per game; and Jarred Vanderbilt, who played in only 14 games all year and should have FRAGILE stamped across his forehead.
