Kentucky's Tshiebwe forgoes eligibility, entering NBA Draft after winning 2022 POY

  • Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky's star big man, will not return to college and will stay in the NBA Draft after winning National Player of the Year in 2022.
  • Tshiebwe led Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament in his first season after transferring from West Virginia.
  • Despite being an elite rebounder, Tshiebwe's offensive game is limited, and he is not currently projected as a draft pick.
  • Kentucky's roster for next season will be young, as most players are freshmen and sophomores with little experience.
  • The Wildcats had pursued some transfers to fill the void left by Tshiebwe but may now look at players who withdrew from the draft.
