The Kentucky Wildcats landed Georgia Bulldogs transfer point guard Sahvir Wheeler on Monday, locking up their backcourt for the 2021-22 season. The addition of Wheeler gives Kentucky a true playmaker and distributor at the point guard position. Wheeler led the SEC in assists last season, as well as assist-to-turnover ratio.
Now that John Calipari has added almost every piece to his roster, Kentucky has made its way up the ranks since the additions of TyTy Washington and Wheeler.
Without Washington and Wheeler in the backcourt, Kentucky was seen as a fringe top-25 team, now they’re starting to make their way into the top-10.
