Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Kevin Knox are Kentucky’s best draft prospects this year, and in turn, John Calipari made the rounds at the NBA Draft Combine last week to talk them up. In an interview with Jon Hale, Calipari said Shai and Kevin could be the steals of the draft ala Louisville’s Donovan Mitchell, who was drafted 13th last summer but is now one of the finalists for Rookie of the Year.
“Someone is going to take him, and everybody is going to say, ‘How did people pass on him?’” Cal said of Knox, who will turn 19 on August 11.
