Kentucky big man Oscar Tshiebwe announced Wednesday that he would be returning to Lexington for his senior season and he will reportedly cash in on a major payday.
Instead of opting for the NBA draft, Tshiebwe will return for the Wildcats and make roughly $2 million through name, image and likeness deals, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.
Tshiebwe, 22, was named the National Player of the Year this season after averaging 17.4 points and 15.1 rebounds per game. He’s the first National Player of the Year to return to school since 2008.
