Kentucky has two top-ten picks in the latest 2022 ESPN mock draft, with one of those players not playing a single minute of college basketball. With just 11 games to go in the regular season, Shaedon Sharpe is UK’s highest-rated potential draft selection, with ESPN projecting him to go No. 7 overall to the New Orleans Pelicans. From there, TyTy Washington is projected to be selected No. 9 overall by the Washington Wizards.
Sharpe and Washington are the only two Kentucky players listed in the 58-man mock draft. This would leave the likes of Oscar Tshiebwe, Sahvir Wheeler, Keion Brooks Jr.
