ESPN’s NBArank countdown for the upcoming 2021-22 season is now complete, and as expected, it’s loaded with former Kentucky stars.
In the ranking of the top 100 players in the league, former Wildcats make up eight spots, including four in the top 25, two in the top 20, and one in the top ten.
UK’s highest-ranked representative? Anthony Davis at No. 9.
“When Davis was at his best in a Lakers uniform, dominating the bubble en route to the 2020 NBA title, he played close to 60% of his minutes at center during that postseason run,” ESPN’s Dave McMenamin said of Davis.
