LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky's run of one-and-done players will continue.
Freshman guard Tyrese Maxey has declared for the NBA draft as expected, becoming the 26th player to enter the draft after just one season in John Calipari's 11 seasons as Kentucky's coach. Kentucky has had at least one one-and-done player in each of those seasons.
ESPN projects Maxey as the No. 6 pick in its most recent 2020 mock draft.
Maxey's freshman season was inconsistent with moments of great promise, like the 26 points in the season-opening victory over then No. 1-Michigan State, scattered among prolonged shooting slumps.
