Over the weekend, UK opened its doors to NBA scouts and executives for the second straight season. With seven players gone to the NBA from last year’s squad, this year’s Pro Day gave both scouts and fans a chance to check out the mysterious group of newcomers, which includes projected #1 draft pick Skal Labissiere and Jamal Murray, the star of the summer.
For two days, scouts and executives watched the Cats, and I spoke to one respected NBA executive to gather his thoughts on John Calipari’s latest crop of talent. In short, he was impressed.
“My first general impression is make green room reservations for some guys,” the executive said.
