Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a guest on Evan Daniel’s podcast yesterday and reflected on his time at Kentucky, specifically, what he learned from John Calipari. Shai, who is projected to go anywhere from eighth to fifteenth in the draft, said Cal’s greatest talent is preparing his guys for the mental rigors of being a professional.
“What he really does is teach you how to be a pro,” Shai said. “To play for Coach Cal and be successful, you have to be really mentally tough. I think he does a great job of that, preparing his players for the next level.
