PJ Washington, World Wide Wes among NBA Draft lottery representatives

Kentucky might be looking at just one potential lottery selection in the upcoming 2022 NBA Draft, but this week’s lottery draw will have a couple of Wildcat connections.

The NBA announced on Monday the 14 representatives for the NBA Draft Lottery, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17 at 8:00 p.m. EST on ESPN in Chicago. Among the people picked to represent their respective franchises are two familiar faces: former Wildcat forward PJ Washington will represent the Charlotte Hornets while good friend of UK head coach John Calipari, William “World Wide Wes” Wesley, will represent the New York Knicks.
