ESPN Ranks Kentucky No. 1 Program for Point Guards, Post Defenders

Here’s a look at some of the rankings:

Post defenders
Kentucky is the top school for post defenders, with top NBA draft picks including Anthony Davis, Cousins and Towns, among others. Kansas finished second (Drew Gooden, Cole Aldrich), fellow Big 12 member Texas (Kevin Durant, Chris Mihm) was right behind them, and UConn (Emeka Okafor, Hasheem Thabeet) and trusty Duke (Elton Brand, Shelden Williams) round out the group.

4. UConn
5. Duke

Point guard
First-round picks such as John Wall, De’Aaron Fox and Rajon Rondo are a big reason Kentucky earned the title of Point Guard U.
