The most talented player on this roster and a projected lottery pick with rare athleticism and shot-blocking instincts — when healthy at Arizona State, he averaged 9.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game before the ACL tear that has defined his time in Lexington. He managed only four games in a Kentucky uniform before the knee swelled again, and the hard truth is that a season meant to launch his NBA career has instead been defined by medical reports and setbacks. If his knee cooperates and he returns for the NCAA Tournament, he changes everything about this team's ceiling.
