NCAA Basketball: Analyzing 4 finalists for Georgia transfer Sahvir Wheeler

Kentucky Wildcats
Right up there with Kansas in terms of the most intriguing options for Wheeler is staying within the SEC and transferring to Kentucky.
The Wildcats have re-loaded after arguably one of the worst seasons in program history in a big way so far through the transfer portal combined with their usual top recruiting class. While the Wildcats have a talented returning roster as well, if there is one potential current need, it’s at point guard.
Kentucky has already added two instant impact starters in Davidson transfer Kellan Grady and West Virginia transfer Oscar Tshiebwe. Combined with a few returnees and highly-touted freshmen, the talent is evident.
As mentioned previously, the one piece lacking is a point guard. The Wildcats have been linked to both Wheeler and 5-star guard TyTy Washington, and seems almost evident at this point they will get at least one, if not both.
We already know that Wheeler can play in the SEC, and just how good he can be at times. If the Wildcats can add Wheeler as their starting point guard, could they return to the top of the SEC next season?
