[Drew Byous @DrewByousBBN]

I believe now that the roster is fully (or pretty much) set, here are some takeaways on the construction of this team. I think there’s a conversation for about 6-ish starters, diving into that, and then some thoughts on the bench.

Zoom is an ultra-athletic, big, physical guard who likes to get downhill, get paint touches, and score at the rim. With what he can do as more than likely the primary ball handler, he can force help in the driving lanes, create lobs or dump-offs to the bigs, or spray it out to shooters.

Alex Wilkins will potentially have to go through a bit of a transition from the SoCon to the SEC, but man is he effective offensively. He can score the basketball and make things happen. I believe he is a better shooter than what the numbers show. It’s hard to shoot it well when the ball is always in your hands and you’re having to create, as well as get shots up, like he did last year to help Furman be at its best. Being more off the ball should help. He just needs to clean up some shot selection and turnovers, which have been knocks on him at times.

Kam Williams, I believe, will take a massive leap next season. Speaking to his dad, he felt Kam last year wasn’t quite suited to playing the 4, but feels like he will be better there this year if needed. He had a transition from the American Conference to the SEC last year and struggled early, but he is capable of being an elite shooter. We saw some incredible defense from him last season, versatility, and solid rebounding at times. I think he was well on his way to a great season before the foot injury that caused him to miss 12 games.

Milan Momcilovic, we know, is an absolute sniper from the outside. He shot 48.7% from 3 last season on 7.5 attempts per game. Get your feet set, get your hands ready, and let that thing FLY. Be the superstar you are, and can be, as clearly the best shooter in college basketball.

Ousmane N’Diaye gives Kentucky a big, versatile piece in the frontcourt. He can rebound, protect the rim, and step out to knock down shots from the outside. His experience playing professionally overseas should help him adjust quickly. Although I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, international prospects can sometimes be hit or miss, and we never know exactly what to expect until the season starts.

Malachi Moreno, we know what he is. A big, long, smart center in the middle. Mark Pope believes he can be the best center in the country next season. That might be a stretch, but he should be near the top. Malachi struggled late last year, sort of hitting a freshman wall, but I don’t see that happening again. Get stronger, work on post moves, and improve in every area possible. Having a point guard, or even two, in Diallo and Wilkins will help Malachi TREMENDOUSLY.

Likely bench:

Talking with Braydon Hawthorne’s dad as well, he believes Braydon is ready to go and have a big-time season. Versatility, length, athleticism, shooting. Obviously it remains to be seen since he redshirted last season, but he was a Top 35 recruit in the 2025 class.

Jerone Morton, Trent Noah, Justin McBride, Franck Kepnang, and I’ll even throw Reece Potter in there. All unique bench options with experience and versatility. They can all play and should be great in their roles. I’m super excited about what they bring and think they can become stars in what they do best to help this team.

Mason Williams is a guy who shouldn’t be slept on. We’ll see what the young Top 125 recruit and son of assistant coach Mo Williams can do this season, if he is needed.

Mr. Hawthorne has told me Zyon is better than advertised, an elite competitor, and is ready every day to grow, get better, develop for the future, and be the greatest practice player he can be this season.

Kentucky has one roster spot left to fill. I would likely say it will be a walk-on type player or another practice/developmental piece, but we shall see.

These two HAVE to get a NIL deal with M&M’s, right? 😂

[Drew Byous @DrewByousBBN]

Mark Pope, sir, you deserve a ton of credit!

Early in the offseason, I was beyond disappointed with what we were seeing.

Missing on top guys left and right.

You still found ways to get some good players in the fold, while also retaining important high-potential players in Kam Williams and Braydon Hawthorne, who I think both will be great next year after speaking with their dads on @borderrivalsHPS.

But at the eleventh hour, getting a return from projected late first round NBA Draft pick Malachi Moreno, and landing a projected second round pick who reportedly had a guarantee from an NBA organization, and a consensus top 1-3 transfer portal prospect in Milan Momcilovic, is unbelievable.

At the end of the day, it’s not about how we got here. It’s about the fact that we are here.

Kentucky will now likely be a preseason top 10-15 squad, and a month or two ago, if you would have told me that, I would not have believed you with the way the offseason was going.

Now, let’s go win basketball games.

If Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the NBA draft. Believe Kentucky is, and probably has been the clubhouse leader for his services.

NIL era and history shows anything can happen...but right now, think Kentucky is in good position.
