Kentucky has one projected draft pick in ESPN’s latest mock for 2023, a lottery selection.
Cason Wallace, a first-round pick all season long, holds firm at No. 13 overall in Jonathan Givony’s latest update. The five-star freshman is one of 10 college rookies in the lottery, with all 14 picks being one-and-done draft-eligible talents — one coming from overseas, one playing for the G League Ignite and two being Overtime Elite standouts.
He’s also one of four SEC freshmen in the updated lottery, joining Brandon Miller (Alabama), Nick Smith Jr.
