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.
