Where Kentucky players stand in NBA Mock Drafts following Monday's Lottery

1 day ago | on3.com | Zack Geoghegan

Skip to main contentThe NBA Draft Lottery is behind us, meaning we’re roughly six weeks away from the 2025 NBA Draft. Will we hear a Kentucky player’s name called once the two-round draft hits in late June? We’re trending in that direction as the NBA Draft Combine continues in Chicago through Sunday. After the Dallas Mavericks shockingly (and undeservedly) won the right to draft Cooper Flagg with the number one overall pick on Monday night, a slew of fresh NBA Mock Drafts have been released since.
Mark Pope sees 'superstar' potential in Jasper Johnson: "He needs to come here and be great."

Mark Pope isn’t going to downplay his expectations for Jasper Johnson‘s first season in Lexington. Johnson is Pope’s biggest high school recruiting win to date. Yes, Johnson is a homegrown product, born and raised in central Kentucky. But he could have easily gone to somewhere like North Carolina, where the coaching staff had prioritized him for years.
Mark Pope 'devastated' by Travis Perry's departure: "He was on his way to becoming a legend here."

It was a shock to all of Big Blue Nation when Bluegrass native Travis Perry announced he was transferring out of his dream school after just one season. Perry, a product of Lyon County and lifelong Wildcat fan, played an important role off the bench during Mark Pope‘s first season coaching Kentucky men’s basketball. Injuries to players ahead of Perry in the rotation carved out an unexpected role, particularly during the middle of the SEC season.

On Monday, a couple of former Kentucky Wildcats played a massive part in helping their teams take 3-1 leads in the Conference Semifinals. We’ll start in the Big Apple, where Karl-Anthony Towns and the (3) New York Knicks used another second-half comeback (coupled with some terrible injury luck for the opposition) to take down the (1) Boston Celtics 121-113.
Koby Brea's NBA Draft Combine measurements similar to other elite shooters

1 day ago | on3.com | Zack Geoghegan

Skip to main contentKentucky guard Koby Brea shares one key physical trait with some of the world’s best shooters. When judging players as potential NBA prospects, a long wingspan is often required to make it in the league. That’s even more true with elite defenders, rim protectors, highlight reel dunkers, etc. But when it comes to excellent outside shooting, it’s not nearly as much of a necessity. And that’s great news for Brea.
One final NBA Mock Draft roundup ahead of tonight's Lottery

2 days ago | on3.com | Zack Geoghegan

The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery is set to begin tonight (Monday, May 12) at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. While we likely won’t see any Kentucky Wildcats selected within the first 14 picks of this year’s draft, which is set for late June, the Lottery serves as one of the primary checkpoints in the pre-draft process. The NBA G League Elite Camp is already behind us. The NBA Draft Combine began on Sunday in Chicago and will run for a full seven days.

Before Andrija Jelavić makes his way to the United States, he has some business to take care of overseas. Playing for Mega Superbet in the Adriatic League (ABA League), Jelavić is one game into his postseason run. Unfortunately, his team lost the first game of a three-game series, falling to Budućnost VOLI on Sunday by a final score of 96-80. The 6-foot-11 future Kentucky Wildcat finished with eight points (3-8 FG), five rebounds, and two assists in 27 minutes of action.

The 2025 NBA Draft Combine began Sunday in Chicago, but the real fun starts later this week. 5-on-5 scrimmages begin Wednesday afternoon (and you’ll be able to watch them live on the ESPN app). The four teams that will participate in the scrimmages were announced Monday morning, with both of Kentucky’s representatives making a roster — just not on the same team, unfortunately. Otega Oweh will suit up for Team Lazare while Koby Brea is on Team Mueller.
BBNBA: Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC come up clutch in must-have Game 4 win vs. Nuggets

2 days ago | on3.com | Zack Geoghegan

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t win the NBA’s Clutch Player of the Year award (he actually finished eighth), but he proved why he’s considered one of the best late-game executionists in the world on Sunday. Scoring nine of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, SGA fueled the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 92-87 win over the Denver Nuggets to tie the series 2-2. OKC entered the final period trailing by six before quickly going on a run.

5 days ago | on3.com | Zack Geoghegan

Skip to main contentAfter a rough four-game losing skid, Kentucky baseball bounced back in a big way against a ranked SEC foe. On Friday night at Kentucky Proud Park, the Wildcats (26-20; 11-14 SEC) overcame an early deficit to take the first game of the series against No. 14 Oklahoma, winning 4-3. Facing a projected first-round MLB Draft pick on the mound in Kyson Witherspoon, Kentucky racked up six hits and four earned runs before he was relieved after five innings of work.
