NBA teams think Chris Livingston should return to college

Chris Livingston is among several Kentucky Wildcats that declared for the 2023 NBA Draft, but both Livingston and former National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe could benefit from another year in college.

Livingston, a former five-star recruit, came on late during the Wildcats' push for an at-large NCAA Tournament push. The Cats did get into the tourney and were ousted by the Kansas State Wildcats in the Round of 32.

The 19-year-old from Akron (OH) averaged just 6.3 points per game and shot 42.9% from the field. He also showcased an ability to step outside the arc, shooting 30.
