Four Kentucky Wildcats are now projected to hear their names called in the 2020 NBA Draft.
In Sam Vecenie’s latest NBA Draft Big Board over at The Athletic, Tyrese Maxey led all Wildcats as the program’s lone first-rounder at No. 12 overall, followed by Immanuel Quickley at No. 37, Ashton Hagans at No. 54, and Nick Richards at No. 57.
Noticeably absent from the list of 100 potential draft prospects? EJ Montgomery.
This comes just a day after Montgomery’s father, Efrem, told Jerry Tipton of the Herald-Leader that his son didn’t need to “come back and waste” another season at Kentucky if his goal is to showcase his offensive abilities.
