Former Kentucky Wildcats guard Shaedon Sharpe has finally realized his NBA dreams.
With the seventh-overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Sharpe was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers, who currently have former Wildcats guard Eric Bledsoe on the roster.
By now, you know how Sharpe was a mid-year enrollee for the Wildcats during the 2021-22 college basketball season. Originally a member of the 2022 recruiting class and the No. 1 overall prospect, Sharpe was the first top-ranked signee to join the Cats since Nerlens Noel in 2012.
However, due to some technicalities, Sharpe had enough high school credits to graduate a year early and become eligible for this year’s draft.
