LEXINGTON, Ky. – John Calipari will add at least three and as many as five players to his staggering list of NBA draft picks at Kentucky Thursday.
Former Wildcats Kevin Knox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are likely to bring Calipari’s total number of lottery picks at Kentucky to 19. A surprise will be needed to increase the number of Calipari Era first-round picks to 27 (including Knox and Gilgeous-Alexander), but Hamidou Diallo and Jarred Vanderbilt have at least been mentioned as borderline first-round prospects.
