Now that the dust has settled after the deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft, teams can finally evaluate their rosters for the coming season.
With the Kentucky Wildcats returning both EJ Montgomery and Nick Richards, it is unanimously accepted that the Wildcats were among the major winners of the draft process.
In Jeff Borzello’s column on ESPN, he outlined the winners and losers from deadline day. In addition to writing about the strength of Kentucky’s front court once the two big men announced their return, he went on to speculate that neither of those decision may be their biggest victory.
The Wildcats had a couple players leave earlier this spring, but received good news when Nick Richards and EJ Montgomery decided to return to Lexington. Kentucky was a little thin on the interior, with only Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina in the post position. Richards and Montgomery aren’t game-changers right now, but they provide much-needed depth for John Calipari. Another plus for Calipari is that Virginia Tech graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear Jr. decided to withdraw his name from the draft. Kentucky is an option for Blackshear.
