Nick Richards and EJ Montgomery each threw their name into the NBA Draft before Sunday’s deadline, but both left open the option of returning to Kentucky. The assumption is they will return once they get all they need out of the process, although crazier things have happened. We won’t really know until they say it, whenever that day comes in the next month.
In the meantime, we can see where Richards and Montgomery fall on the CBSSports.com NBA Draft Big Board, updated Monday afternoon. And it’s not good for their immediate NBA dreams.
Neither Richards nor Montgomery ranked within the top 100 prospects on the new big board.
