What experts think of Cason Wallace and other NBA draft prospects from Kentucky basketball

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Since John Calipari's first NBA draft as Kentucky's coach in 2010, a nation-leading 45 Wildcats have heard their names called, 34 in the first round. That includes three No. 1 overall picks and 22 lottery selections.

UK has had at least two players selected in all 13 drafts of Calipari's tenure in Lexington.

But it's no guarantee that streak will make it to 14.

Cason Wallace, the latest one-and-done guard from Kentucky, is expected to be a first-round pick — if not a lottery selection.
