LEXINGTON - Last week, Kentucky basketball landed five-star point high school guard TyTy Washington for its 2021-22 roster. Five days later, the Wildcats have found the veteran point guard to pair with him.
Georgia transfer Sahvir Wheeler committed to Kentucky Monday, choosing the Wildcats over Kansas, LSU and Oklahoma State. ESPN ranks Wheeler as the No. 15 available transfer this offseason.
“Sahvir is the kind of player that dictates the pace of the game, who gets easy baskets for himself and his teammates, and who can be disruptive defensively,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said in a news release confirming the signing.
