The Kentucky Wildcats and coach Mark Pope have done an excellent job of building the roster for next season out of the transfer portal. However, with uncertainty around Otega Oweh, they are still looking for some help at the shooting guard spot.
A new name for Kentucky fans to monitor is former High Point guard Kimani Hamilton. The Wildcats are one of several schools who have reached out to him since entering the portal.
A former top 100 recruit, Hamilton began his career at Mississippi State, but transferred to High Point after playing little as a Freshman. As a Sophomore, he broke out, averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game. Last season, his minutes were down a bit, but he still posted 13 points per contest.
Hamilton isn’t a great three-point shooter, but he has been able to get into the paint and get points. He is a good player, and could excel under Pope’s guidance.
