John Calipari Releases Statement on Shaedon Sharpe’s NBA Draft Decision

Kentucky guard Shaedon Sharpe, who is the former No. 1 prospect in the 2022 recruiting class who enrolled early at the school this spring, will enter the ’22 NBA draft.

When Sharpe enrolled at Kentucky halfway through this past basketball season, many speculated whether or not Sharpe would play this year while most members of the 2022 recruiting class join their respective schools this summer to suit up for next season.

Sharpe and his family ultimately decided in unison with John Calipari that redshirting this spring was the best decision for Sharpe and his future.
