Related Topics: Kentucky

ESPN’s Jonathan Givony was at the Kentucky Basketball Pro Day and has now put his thoughts to paper as he compares the current Kentucky Basketball players to current NBA players.

Take a look at all the comparisons below:

Hamidou Diallo’s top physical comps in our historical database are Nick Young, MarShon Brooks and KJ McDaniels. Taking into account just his athletic testing results, Diallo compares favorably with the numbers posted by Zach LaVine at the 2014 NBA combine, besting him in most categories while weighing 20 pounds heavier at the same age.

P.J. Washington’s top three physical comps in our historical database are pretty flattering: Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green and Carmelo Anthony.
