Kentucky is off to a 2-1 start to begin the 2021-22 college basketball season, and junior big Oscar Tshiebwe is the main reason why. The former top-25 recruit out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is doing some big things.
The West Virginia transfer leads the Wildcats in scoring (18.3), rebounds (18.7), blocks (2.7), and minutes (30.3). Tshiebwe is making a major impact and is changing the way some in the Big Blue Nation look at box scores.
However, the junior is also making a big splash nationally. The former McDonald’s All-American has been one of the best players in the country, according to KenPom.
