This would be great for UK's chances for a championship in the 2018-19 year but I don't even believe this. Whoever wrote this in on something.

"""For most schools, two projected first round picks would be a banner year.

Not at Kentucky.

In somewhat of a surprise, ESPN only included two Wildcats among its first-rounders in its initial mock 2018 NBA Draft.

Jonathan Givony projected freshmen Hamidou Diallo 18th to the Utah Jazz and Nick Richards 22nd to the Milwaukee Bucks. Diallo made a last-minute decision to return to Kentucky in May after testing the draft waters in 2017.

Notably absent was Kevin Knox, a top-10 prospect in the 2017 class and considered by many, along with Diallo, to be one of Kentucky's sure-fire one and dones.

John Calipari's incoming crop of freshmen features seven of the top 31 prospects in the 2017 class, all 5-stars by some measure, in addition to former McDonald's All-American and 5-star sophomore forward Wenyen Gabriel.

Jarred Vanderbilt has also been mentioned previously as a potential first round pick in 2018.

Calipari has produced at least two first round picks in all eight years at Kentucky."""
