Coach Cal put five Cats into the NBA Draft this Thursday. Never been done before (in a single draft).
I'm happy about it. Not nearly as excited as I'd have been if those 5 players had led UK to the National Championship. Still it's a great accomplishment.
Kentucky Coach John Calipari sounded like a proud papa on Friday when discussing his five former players who were picked in the first round of the NBA Draft the previous night.
And while the exodus means that UK must adjust to a lot of new players next season, Calipari is hoping that the Cats continue to be a big player on NBA Draft night.
"I hope we do it again," Calipari said. "My dream now would to be to have the No. 1 overall pick and six first-round draft picks. I want my sixth man to get drafted in the first round."
John Wall was the No. 1 draft pick. DeMarcus Cousins checked in at No. 5, Patrick Patterson at No. 14, Eric Bledsoe No. 18 and Daniel Orton at 29th.
