Oscar Tshiebwe Declares for NBA Draft, Forgoes Remaining Eligibility.

Kentucky Wildcats' star center Oscar Tshiebwe is expected to stay in the 2023 NBA Draft, according to reports. Tshiebwe won the National Player of the Year award in the 2021-22 season, averaging 17.4 points, 15.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. He could have returned to college as a graduate and transferred to another program, but he has ruled out that option. While Tshiebwe is an elite rebounder, his offensive game is limited, and he is undersized for the position, which could make him go undrafted.
