LEXINGTON - No coach is more closely tied to one-and-done NBA draft picks than John Calipari.
Now, Kentucky basketball's Hall of Fame coach is left to explain how his program progressed to a none-and-done player. According to reports from The Athletic and ESPN, UK freshman guard Shaedon Sharpe will declare for the draft and ending his Kentucky career without playing a single game for the Wildcats.
The former No. 1-ranked prospect in the high school class of 2022, Sharpe graduated a semester early to enroll at Kentucky with the intention of only practicing this season before playing in 2022-23.
