John Calipari and those around the Kentucky basketball program may be confident No. 1 recruit Shaedon Sharpe will return to school in 2022-23, but NBA teams aren’t. In fact, ESPN’s Jonathan Givony is reporting that NBA teams would be “surprised” if Sharpe does not declare for the 2022 NBA Draft this spring.

“Talking to NBA teams, they are all preparing for Sharpe ultimately being in the draft, and say they’ll be surprised if he isn’t,” Givony reported Tuesday morning.
