Oscar Tshiebwe did what hasn’t been done in 42 years.
The recently-announced AP National Player of the Year had an absolutely incredible season. Tshiebwe averaged 15.2 rebounds per game to go along with 17.4 points in 34 games, all starts.
Tshiebwe transformed the Cats, a team that has typically relied heavily on guards to carry the team recently. He changed how Kentucky played with his dominance, shooting a career-high 60.6% from the field.
The Cats would welcome the NPOY back if that’s what he opted for, but after Andy Katz asked about his potential to return, fans were left with as many answers as questions.
