This season, Whitney has averaged 3.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 12.8 minutes per game, in 18 games played. He started the first seven games of the season for the Wildcats before being relegated to a limited role off the bench at the start of SEC play.

Possible options for @KahlilWhitney :

–Transfer to Illinois, Georgetown or Seton Hall (or someplace else) and try to get a waiver for next year

–Try to go play professionally somewhere for a few months to get his draft stock back up
