Uganda Silverbacks forward Arthur Kaluma commits to Kansas State Wildcats

After withdrawing from the 2022 NBA Draft, Uganda Silverbacks forward Arthur Kaluma has returned to College basketball.

The former Creighton player has chosen the Wildcats over several other suitors.

Kaluma was one of the top combo wings on the market and the No. 13 transfer in CBS Sports' transfer rankings.

He had a career year for Creighton last season as a sophomore, averaging a career-high 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 31.1% from 3-point range.

He finished as one of five players to average double figures in scoring for the Bluejays, who won 24 games in the 2022/23 season.

Kaluma has, over the last two seasons, shown flashes of NBA potential and made lots of improvement as an outside shooter.

In two seasons at Creighton, Kaluma started 67 games and averaged 11.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

At 6-foot-7, Kaluma possesses great size and offensive ability inside the arc. He is a career 29.1% 3-point shooter.

Kaluma had chosen to enter the NBA Draft and left Creighton in April.

He said: "After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the NBA Draft. I am excited to take this next step in my basketball journey and look forward to what the future holds."

The Silverbacks player, however, exited the draft at the start of June to return to College Basketball.

Having played two seasons already, Kaluma still has two years of eligibility remaining.

Kaluma has represented Uganda in the FIBA Afrobasket and the Fiba Basketball World Cup Qualifiers.
