Oscar Tshiebwe training to become a more “fluid” athlete

Last season, Oscar Tshiebwe dominated college basketball and rewrote the record books as he went on to become the first unanimous National Player of the Year in Kentucky basketball history.

Despite a dominant season, Tshiebwe was not looked at as a first-round draft pick in the eyes of the NBA as he went through the process, leading him to come back and showing that there is room to improve.

Standing 6-foot-9, Tshiebwe will be an undersized big in the NBA and will need to improve his shooting, but UK strength coach Braden Welsh believes he can also improve as an athlete.
