For the last two seasons, Sahvir Wheeler has led the Southeastern Conference in assists. He was tabbed as a Bob Cousy Award finalist in 2021-22, which goes to the nation’s top overall point guard. Wheeler’s 207 assists with Kentucky last season ranked fourth in program history and his 193 assists with Georgia the year prior set the program’s single-season record. There aren’t many, if any, “pure point guards” in college basketball better than him.
Now entering his senior season and second in Lexington, the 5-foot-9 Wheeler needs to bring even more to the hardwood in 2022-23.
