Wheeler, Grady, Tshiebwe all make preseason positional award watch lists

The Kentucky Basketball 2021-22 revenge tour is only a couple of weeks from officially tipping off. And once this new-look Wildcat does get the season rolling, three of them–all transfer prospects–will start the year as some of the best at their respective position.

Point guard Sahvir Wheeler, who transferred to Kentucky after two seasons at Georgia, has been tabbed as a candidate for the Bob Cousy Award; Shooting guard Kellan Grady, a graduate transfer from Davidson, was named to the Jerry West Award watch list; and center Oscar Tshiebwe, who spent 1.5 seasons at West Virginia, is up for the Kareem Abdul-Jabaar Award.
