One of the biggest question marks on this Kentucky team so far is Kahlil Whitney. The 6’6″ 210 lbs. freshman wing came to Lexington as one of the highest-ranked recruits in the class and is undeniably an athletic freak, but has yet to find a way to channel that into productive basketball.
In the Cats’ 78-70 OT win vs. No. 3 Louisville — their most complete performance this season — Whitney played only two minutes; against No. 5 Ohio State in the game prior, he played ten, registering only two points, a rebound, and a turnover. As a result, draft experts are starting to question whether or not he has what it takes to be a one-and-done.
