It was a late night, so let’s get right into the meat and potatoes, shall we?
So. Many. Trades.
Kentucky fans have been goose-necked in a few NBA Drafts, most memorably with Nerlens Noel in 2013, but last night’s trades were unprecedented for the Big Blue Nation. There were as many Kentucky Wildcats traded as there were Kentucky draft picks.
Kevin Knox was the only player to stay on the team that originally drafted, remaining with the New York Knicks. Shai was shipped from Charlotte to the Clippers, Jarred Vanderbilt flipped from Orlando to Denver and Hamidou Diallo went from his hometown of Brooklyn, to Charlotte than Oklahoma City.
