LEXINGTON - No coach is more closely tied to one-and-done NBA draft picks than John Calipari.
Now, Kentucky basketball's Hall of Fame coach may need to explain how his program progressed to a none-and-done player. According to reports from The Athletic and ESPN, UK freshman guard Shaedon Sharpe will declare for the draft and end his Kentucky career without playing a single game for the Wildcats.
Sharpe confirmed later Thursday afternoon he would declare for the draft, but in his note posted to Twitter he said he would maintain his college eligibility while working out for teams, leaving open the possibility of a return to UK.
