What number of former Wildcats will be summoned tonight?
Zac Oakes is a professional writer in Kentucky who focusses on covering men’s basketball and football at the University of Kentucky. Tonight is the second round of the NBA Draft, and we’ll find out which former Kentucky Wildcats are selected.
Over the past several weeks, Kobe Brea’s draft status has increased, and recent mock drafts have him projected to be selected in the early to mid-2nd round. Another man who might hear his name mentioned tonight is Amari Williams. According to some mock drafts, he will be selected in the 40s or close to the end of the second round. Although it’s unlikely that players like Andrew Carr, Lamont Butler, and Jaxson Robinson would be selected tonight, it wouldn’t be shocking if they were selected for summer league contracts following the draft so they could try to impress NBA teams.
There were numerous intriguing stories in the first round, chief among them the Utah Jazz’s selection of Ace Bailey, who was reportedly told he didn’t want to be draughted by the Jazz and refused to work out for them during the pre-draft process. Hansen Yang’s selection as the 16th overall pick was another major shock. It was surprising to many that the Chinese big guy was selected so high because most people thought he would be selected in the second round.
Tonight, we’ll discover what Round 2 has in store.
