New NBA mock draft shakes up order of UK players (and what it could mean for next season) | Lexington Herald Leader

Just in time for the first week of NCAA Tournament play, ESPN has released an updated mock draft and prospect rankings for this year’s NBA Draft.

There’s also a new top Cat on ESPN’s list.

UK freshman Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has moved up to No. 13 overall — lottery range — in the latest ESPN mock draft posted Monday morning. The Wildcats guard was the MVP of the Southeastern Conference Tournament over the weekend, and — in a separate post Monday — was singled out by ESPN as one of the biggest “risers” in conference tournament play.
