Oscar Tshiebwe, one of the absolute best and most beloved players in Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball history, will bypass the 2022 NBA Draft and return to Lexington for the 2022-23 season. Tshiebwe made the announcement Wednesday live on SportsCenter.
This was undoubtedly one of the biggest stay-go decisions not only in the John Calipari era, but in the entire history of Kentucky basketball. After winning every National Player of the Year award, Tshiebwe becomes one of the rare instances in the history of college hoops where the Player of the Year returned to school.
