The Kentucky Wildcats are enjoying a resurgence into the elite tier of college hoops, as they now look like a legitimate title contender.
If Kentucky is able to make a deep run in March and into the Final Four, it’s fair to assume it will require guys like Ashton Hagans and Tyler Herro continuing to up their games and play at a higher level. They’ve played great for stretches this season, and it’s safe to think they’ll have made big strides by the time the Big Dance ends.
That, in turn, should lead to their NBA stock rising enough to be first-round picks in the 2019 NBA Draft.
