This is yet another name that Kentucky was invovled with throughout the offseason and even hosted for a visit. Aiden Mahaney is as talented a wing as they come and is another wing who could fit in nicely with the rest of the pieces for Kentucky.

He is a two-time All-WCC selection after averaging 13.9 points in each of his first two seasons. This year, he shot 35.5 percent from three and has a career average of 37.5 percent on 2.3 made 3s a game.

Mahaney is terrific on and off the ball. He had 56 percent effective field goal rate last season on catch and shoot opportuntites and ranked in the 82nd percentile in spot up shots, scoring 1.13 points per possession.

While Kentucky is pretty loaded up on the wing -- especially with guys who expect major minutes -- if Mahaney is available and someone you can get, you don't pass on it.
