For the second time in Kentucky basketball history, the Wildcats have a National Player of the Year award winner, as Oscar Tshiebwe joins Anthony Davis as the only two players to earn that honor.
Oscar finished the season averaging 17.4 points, 15.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 1.1 assists per game. He was the dominant force in college basketball all season.
One current Kentucky player has a unique experience of playing with two of college basketballs elite big men in recent years.
CJ Fredrick got to play with Luka Garza, last year’s National Player of the Year, with the Iowa Hawkeyes, meaning he had the opportunity to play with each of the last two players to win the award.
