UK Undergraduates To Enter NBA Draft

  • {Lexington, Kentucky}...University of Kentucky sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb and freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague jointly announced Tuesday at the Joe Craft Center on the UK campus that they will enter the NBA Draft. They will be joined in the June 28th draft by senior Darius Miller, who started only 11 of 40 games but averaged more than 26 minutes in what was, for the most part, a six-man rotation. Davis is forecast to be the No. 1 pick in the draft, and Kidd-Gilchrist is projected in the top five. The other four could potentially go in the first round, which would surpass the five Wildcats that were selected in the first round in 2010.
