Denzel Aberdeen certainly didn’t envision himself as Kentucky’s starting point guard when he transferred to the Wildcats, but he’s filled that role as well as anyone could have asked.
Before the regular season could even begin, Aberdeen was thrust into a larger on-ball role than he was used to at Florida. Jaland Lowe‘s shoulder issues began with the Blue-White Game in October and continued until too many setbacks forced him to the sideline for good in January. Lowe was recruited to Kentucky with the sole intention of being PG1. Aberdeen was going to play alongside him and Otega Oweh in the backcourt as the score-first guards.
