NBA draft experts and lowly bloggers alike thrive on drawing parallels between first-round prospects and someone else in the league.

Comparing Kentucky’s NBA draft prospects to former Wildcats who made the league is nothing new. Last year, Isaiah Jackson reminded scouts of Nerlens Noel, and the year prior, experts touted PJ Washington to be the next Patrick Patterson.
