Oscar Tschiebwe was the consensus men's college basketball player of the year last season, an accomplishment usually followed by a jump to the NBA.
Kentucky's big man decided to take a different route. He's coming back — and he may be even better this season.
"He's a better passer. He's a better dribbler. He has a better feel. He talks," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "Offensively he knows the plays better. And he's authentic."
Tshiebwe was a unanimous selection along with Gonzaga big man Drew Timme in The Associated Press preseason All-America team released Monday.
