LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky basketball was once a one-and-done NBA draft factory.
And while John Calipari's program still is, at some level, production has slowed over the years.
As the college basketball landscape has changed during Calipari's 14 years in Lexington, UK's longtime head coach has had to adjust his approach to building his teams.
In the last three NBA drafts, three players — one each year — who spent just one season at Kentucky were selected in the first round. Comparatively, following each of Calipari's first three seasons in Lexington, the Wildcats had nine one-and-done players — an average of three per season — selected in the first round of the draft.
