Kahlil Whitney: University of Kentucky

Kentucky ties: A native of Roselle, NJ, Whitney played his high school ball at Roselle Catholic — where former Kentucky Wildcat Isaiah Briscoe played during high school.
All-around forward: He has the quickness and athleticism that makes him a great fit for John Calipari’s Wildcats. Not only is he a great offensive player, but he is a solid defensive force as well.
Great jump shooter: Whitney’s jump shot is very good. During last summer’s EYBL, he shot 48 percent from three in eight games. If Whitney can transition that sort of production to the college level, he could easily be a 2020 lottery pick.
Great replacement: With guys like Reid Travis and PJ Washington moving on from Kentucky, the 6-foot-7 Whitney will fill in for those guys and can stretch the floor for the Wildcats, something those two could not do consistently.

It has been awhile, since UK has had the "it" player in college basketball.

I would like to see Calipari land either a super quick, lengthy shot blocker or a super scorer. Would be nice to have both, but that would be greedy.

It sounds like he is going to be special and can't wait to see how good he really is.
