Former Vols: Chris Lofton should have been drafted in the 2008 NBA Draft

Mistakes happen. In fact, they happen all the time. Mistakes are actions that we look back on and realize we were wrong. In the case of the 2008 NBA Draft, it was not drafting Chris Lofton.

At Tennessee, Lofton was flat out amazing. He was underrated coming out of high school as a three-star prospect from Kentucky. So, Lofton came to Tennessee after the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky didn’t offer him a scholarship.

Big mistakes by those program by the way. Lofton ended up arguably one of the best players in the history of Tennessee basketball.
