Sad news: kentucky basketball Best Player has been confirmed dead as he was involved in an accident…..

Kentucky men’s basketball center Amari Williams talked to the media on Thursday, July 25, 2024, at the Joe Craft Center on the UK campus. Williams is a transfer from Drexel, where he was two-time Defensive Player of the Year in his conference. BY JOHN CLAY Mark Pope’s first Kentucky basketball team is full of newcomers. Not a single one of the 12 scholarship players (nine arrivals via the transfer portal and three incoming freshmen) on UK’s roster for the 2024-25 season were Wildcats last season under former coach John Calipari. Among the nine players with previous college basketball experience now at UK, some have proven their mettle at a higher level than others. Fifth-year guard Lamont Butler was a standout at San Diego State and hit a game-winning, buzzer-beating shot in the Final Four. Fellow fifth-year backcourt player Jaxson Robinson led Pope’s final BYU team in scoring (14.2 points per game) last season. Fifth-year forward Andrew Carr started all 68 games over the last two seasons at Wake Forest and was one of the ACC’s best shot blockers last season. Plenty of other incoming Wildcats, from Koby Brea to Brandon Garrison, also boast substantial past college basketball credentials.
