Report: Kentucky's Shaedon Sharpe Eligible for 2022 NBA Draft; Has Yet to Play for UK

Shaedon Sharpe being eligible for the next NBA draft is not news to Kentucky. It’s not a new development. It’s something neither Sharpe’s camp nor UK wanted out because of all the speculation it would create. As of today, whether he plays this year or not, he plans to stay at UK.

Sharpe was part of the class of 2022 until graduating before the start of the NBA season in October.
