Several Wildcats among ESPN’s NBA prospect rankings

The Kentucky Wildcats are ready to begin their 2018-19 season, and as always, they’ll have a wealth of NBA talent.

The preseason second-ranked Wildcats should once again have multiple first-round picks in the next NBA Draft, and it’s not a stretch to think anywhere from 4-6 players hear their names called in next June’s draft.

But for much of the offseason, the NBA mock drafts and projections have varied on which Wildcats could be drafted and how high they may go. However, one name consistently mentioned has been Keldon Johnson, who is widely expected to be a one and done in addition to being a potential lottery pick.
