Kentucky's John Calipari: Expanded NBA Draft Would 'Ruin College Basketball'

Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari said that anyone who is in favor of expanding the NBA draft past its current two-round structure is "trying to ruin college basketball," per Alex Scarborough of ESPN.com.

"If anybody supports more rounds in the draft, those more rounds are to get kids to go to the G League, you do not care about college basketball or you're trying to ruin college basketball," Calipari said.

The comments come after Duke men's hoops head coach Mike Krzyzewski cited the G League and said he believes the NBA will expand its number of draft rounds, per the Associated Press.
