Tai Wynyard Wins MVP at U18 3x3 Tournament

Tai-Wynyard-1200Tai Wynyard showed exactly why Kentucky fans should be excited about his commitment over the weekend. He helped lead New Zealand to the gold medal in the U18 3x3 Tournament, winning MVP along the way. Wynyard and New Zealand defeated Argentina today 20-18 in the finals held in Hungary. The future Cat scored eight of the 20 points and was the second-leading scorer for the tournament. Chris Fisher of 247Sports tweeted out "Wynyard was dominant inside with his back to the basket but also hit two mid-range jumpers and came up with two big blocks in the final." That's encouraging to hear as a Kentucky fan knowing he will join the squad either late this season or as part of the class of 2016.
