The Kentucky basketball team’s pair of 2022 NBA Draft picks Thursday night kept the program in the lead all-time for first-round selections.
Shaedon Sharpe was the first off the board at No. 7 to the Portland Trail Blazers, and TyTy Washington followed at No. 29 to the Houston Rockets via a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Kentucky now has 57 all-time first round picks, 34 which were drafted under current head coach John Calipari.
North Carolina, at 53, was shut out in 2022 and is now tied with Duke after the Blue Devils had four picks.
