The Kentucky Wildcats have consistently produced high-end talent in the NBA Draft.
However, in the 2023 draft, the team only saw two players selected, guard Cason Wallace at No. 10 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and forward Chris Livingston at No. 58 to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Wallace was the team’s only first-round pick. Former National Player of the Year center Oscar Tshiebwe, who went pro following his senior season at Kentucky, also could’ve been taken but didn’t crack the 58 picks.
With the best recruiting class in the country set to join Kentucky this upcoming season, the 2024 NBA Draft is bound to have more promise for the Cats.
