The Kentucky Wildcats have one of the most famed men’s basketball programs in the nation. With that title comes the expectation that their alumni will thrive in the NBA, the sport’s highest level.
In the 2019-2020 season, they did just that.
With the season suspended in the middle of March, the regular-season-based awards will only be judged from the beginning of the season to that point. With only 22 teams playing in the NBA’s restart, it’s unfair for some as the last 15-20 games were cut off for 8 teams.
That said, the awards haven’t been released, but ESPN’s Zach Lowe has named the players that he believes will be finalists for the awards.
