The latest round of NBA Draft decisions have caused prognosticators to adjust their 2021 draft projections. In the middle of all the movement, Kentucky’s top two prospects remain in the top ten.
In Jonathan Givony’s updated 2021 mock draft, the ESPN analyst has B.J. Boston coming in at No. 6 overall, followed by Terrence Clarke at No. 10. Clarke and Boston are still the best of the best, even though it’s a much deeper field in 2021 than it will be in 2020.
NBA scouts were significantly more excited about next year’s draft than this June’s class even before the coronavirus pandemic brought enough uncertainty to cause several prospects to decline entering their names in the 2020 draft.
