The Kentucky superstar center rocked the college basketball world last season by shattering just about every record the sport had to offer, averaging 17.4 points, 15.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per contest en route to consensus National Player of the Year honors. As a rebounder, he led the country in rebounding (15.1), offensive rebounds per game (5.3) and defensive rebounding percentage (34.6%) while also finishing second in offensive rebounding percentage (19.4%). First major-conference player to average 15-15 since UCLA’s Bill Walton in 1972-73 and the first UK player to hit those marks since Bob Burrow in 1954-55.
