Kentucky landed 7-foot-2 Croatian center Zvonimir Ivisic back in July. Now, they may not be getting him at all.
On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe provides an update on Zvonimir Ivisic's status, and speculates how Kentucky would fair if they were to lose out on him.
Right now, Kentucky has three different players that they could start at center. Ugonna Onyenso, Tre Mitchell, and Aaron Bradshaw. Bradshaw wants to play the four, and likely won't slide down to the five unless absolutely needed, but given his height and versatility, it makes sense to list him as a candidate at that position.
Bradshaw will likely be ready for the Wildcats' season opener after undergoing surgery this summer. The problem with Onyenso is injury. He's still in a boot after hurting his foot right before the GLOBL JAM. It's uncertain whether or not he will be fully healthy by November. Until the Wildcats get a definitive answer there, they are going to have to rely on Bradshaw and Mitchell. Mitchell, given his veteran experience, may end up starting at center despite the height disadvantage to Bradshaw and Onyenso. He also possesses legitimate versatility and showed it during the GLOBL JAM. Mitchell can shoot, distribute and defend. As long as he can stay healthy, he has a solid role in this rotation.
Kentucky has answers outside of Ivisic, and while he would be a valuable addition to the team, the Wildcats should have enough answers outside of him to get the job done.
