Kentucky men’s basketball forward Chris Livingston was drafted No. 58 overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday.

Livingston played just one season in Lexington after joining the program as a five-star freshman alongside Cason Wallace.

In his one season in Lexington Livingston averaged 6.3 points per game and 4.2 rebounds per game, playing in 34 total games for the Cats.

Recording a career-high 14 points in the CBS Sports Classic against UCLA in December, Livingston began to come into his own in the back half of the season. Of his seven games with double-digit point totals, five came after the start of February.
