As for Kentucky Basketball, all the noise is following De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk as the NBA Draft nears. The two guards have most certainly earned the right to get some attention. Bam Adebayo on the other hand, has had to work harder to make himself known.
In most mock drafts, entering the draft season, Bam was projected as a late first, early second round pick. Second round players generally begin their careers in the NBA D-League. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the D-League is the only place for them. But, on the other hand, second round guys generally find themselves earning their keep before they get the call up to the big leagues.
