UK Basketball: SI puts two Wildcats in 2019 NBA Draft big board

PJ Washington hasn’t yet made his decision as to whether he wants to return to Kentucky for a sophomore season, but Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo may have given him something to think about in his early look at 2019’s top 30 NBA Draft prospects.

Looking at the best of next year’s draft class, Woo has Washington as the No. 19 player in the class.

Washington was at his best playing as a small-ball five this season, with freakish length that helps compensate for his lack of height. He’s presently testing the waters along with teammates Jarred Vanderbilt and Wenyen Gabriel, creating a bit of a quandary as far as playing time for whoever returns.
