Five-star shooting guard Hamidou Diallo, who has yet to play a game for the University of Kentucky, entered his name in the NBA Draft on Sunday.
Diallo — a 6-foot-5 player from Queens, N.Y. — joined the UK team in January, enrolling in college classes for the spring semester and practicing with the team over the final three months of the season.
He was eligible to play with the Wildcats, but he did not appear in a game. He graduated from high school last spring and his age — Diallo turns 19 in July — makes him eligible to be selected in this year’s NBA Draft.
