Tonight is the start of the NFL Draft, but we’re only two months away from the NBA Draft. In turn, ESPN’s Jonathan Givony updated his big board of prospects for the first time in a month this morning. Five Kentucky Wildcats made the Top 100, but just a few are in draft range.
Koby Brea is the only Cat to make the top 60, coming in at No. 56, down three spots from the previous update in March. Brea was No. 54 in Givony’s mock draft two weeks ago. Amari Williams made a significant jump from the last version, up 15 spots to No. 63, which puts him in draft range. Of the outgoing seniors, Jaxson Robinson and Andrew Carr are No. 81 and No. 97, respectively. Lamont Butler did not make the top 100.
By declaring for the draft, Oweh will be able to participate in the NBA Combine, go through individual workouts with NBA teams, and receive feedback on how to improve his game. He has until May 28, the NCAA’s NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, to decide if he’s staying in the draft or returning to school. All indications are he’ll do the latter, setting up a monster senior season at Kentucky
