The Kentucky men’s basketball program saw two more players selected by teams in the NBA Draft in Isaiah Jackson and Brandon Boston Jr., while a third – Terrence Clarke – was also honored by the NBA with a posthumous selection in the first round.
Jackson was selected No. 22 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers, with that pick being traded to the Washington Wizards, and then again to the Indiana Pacers. The 6-foot-10 forward becomes the first former Wildcat on the Pacers since Alex Poythress in 2017-18.
“It’s a surreal moment,” Jackson said Thursday at the Barclays Center.
