Oscar Tshiebwe currently has the Big Blue Nation eating out of the palm of his hand. The 6’9 junior has made a name for himself with his effort and rebounding, but his offense has taken a leap that deserves more recognition.
Through 16 games for Kentucky, Tshiebwe is averaging a career-high 17 points per game. That’s a near six-point increase from his best at West Virginia, which was during his freshman season at 11.2. His career-high during his first two seasons was 21 points, which he broke in his third game as a Wildcat. Since then, he’s broken it three more times with scoring outputs of 25, 29, and then 30 on Tuesday night against Vanderbilt.
