He may no longer be considered the top overall pick, but Skal will hear his name called early on draft night.
When Skal Labissiere committed to the Kentucky Wildcats in 2015, John Calipari and Big Blue Nation thought that the next great big man was secured. Skal would follow in the footsteps of Antony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, and Karl-Anthony Towns as an offensively skilled big man that would be in contention for the number one pick when the 2016 NBA draft rolled around.
Things did not go as planned.
