Jacob Toppin enters NBA Draft

As we await the official decisions of players to have a better picture of next season’s roster, Jacob Toppin is the latest to do.

On Friday, Toppin announced that he will be entering the NBA Draft, forgoing an extra year of eligibility at Kentucky.

Playing three seasons for the Wildcats, Toppin is one of the few players to do so under John Calipari. While that has had a negative connotation in the past, it is helped Toppin and his development tremendously.

Coming to Kentucky as a transfer from Rhode Island, with the maturity of a “12-year-old” - John Calipari has jokingly said - Toppin had a lot of room for growth.
