Kentucky wing Justin Edwards would be talked about much more if he didn’t have his high school ranking next to his name. He ultimately had an underwhelming season with the Wildcats that tanked his draft stock. Coming in as the third-best recruit in the class of 2023, he finished averaging 8.6 points (sixth most on the team). Despite the disappointment that would have had him projected in the lottery, Edwards still has the tools to be an NBA player, projected from late first round to the middle of the second round. Rewinding to the trade deadline last season, Utah traded for two draft picks that would become #28 and #32.
