For months leading up to the start of the 2020-21 season many believed Olivier Sarr's eligibility could be the difference between a good and a great team.

Well, Sarr was eligible, but the season didn't go as planned.

The 7-foot big man transfer from Wake Forest had his ups and downs during his season in Lexington.

79.1% ... Sarr's free throw percentage. For the second straight year Kentucky shot free throws at a good clip. When your center shoots a number like that it certainly helps.

44.4% ... Sarr's three-point field goal percentage. That's obviously through the roof. Unfortunately for Kentucky and Sarr, he only attempted 27 threes on the season. That wasn't really a part of his game for the Demon Deacons either, as he only attempted seven threes all year his final year in Winston-Salem.

38% ... Synergy put Sarr's defense in the 38% of all players nationally, so not terrible but below average. He was fine defending post-ups (the foul/free throw rate was too high) and isolation but struggled to get out on shooters and didn't defend the pick and roll so well.

3.1 ... Fouls per game committed by Sarr. He only fouled out twice and had four fouls in six other games, but anyone who watched the season knows he had a penchant for untimely and unnecessary fouls that sometimes sent him to the bench.

2/9 ... This is actually a date. February 9 was the first time Sarr attempted more than two three pointers in a game all season. That might not seem significant, but Calipari spent the entire season trying to tweak lineups and game plans. Later in the season giving Sarr more of a green light and setting plays up for him to get outside shots became an emphasis.

3.6 ... The number of free throw attempts per game for Sarr. That compares to 6.0 per game for Wake Forest in '19-20.

2 ... The number of 20-point games for Sarr on the season. He had five 20-point games for Wake Forest the year prior to the '20-21 season.

0.924 ... The points per possession generated by Sarr when the ball and scoring opportunities went through him. That was good, in the 64th percentile nationally. It was still significantly down from the previous year at Wake when he ranked in the 90th percentile.

0.4 ... Points per possession by Sarr on a short clock or shot clock. That might seem like an obscure stat, but Sarr missed a couple of potential game-winners earlier in the season when Kentucky was trying to find his footing. They were good looks and the shots looked okay, they just didn't fall.
