Where Kentucky Basketball players rank in the updated ESPN Draft rankings

With the college basketball season only a few weeks away from games starting, NBA scouts and executives have done some early evaluations as to who they will have their eyes on as the season begins.

On Tuesday, ESPN’s draft gurus Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz released their updated top-100 player rankings, and a couple of Kentucky Wildcats made the cut for the 2022 NBA Draft.

Making the list for UK are freshman TyTy Washington at 16th overall, and Daimion Collins at 19th overall. Both players have long been seen as the top draft prospects on this year's team, and that trend continues as the season is about to begin.
