Lot's of guru's are waiting to see how he does this season but most all of them think he has a shot to make it to the NBA but only time will tell.

Yet even lofty preseason expectations did not do justice to then freshman point guard Tyler Ulis. The 5-9 dynamo from Chicago was “only” ranked 20th in the 2014 recruiting class and many wondered how a point guard that small would do, especially in Calipari’s point guard driven system. However, Ulis didn’t need long to erase any doubts anyone had about his ability.

He impressed teammates with his toughness, passing and 3-point shooting. He impressed UK coaches with his poise and ability to run the offense. He impressed fans with his non-stop energy and passion.

Now going into this season some are speculating that Ulis could be the best point guard in the nation. Not in the SEC, but best in the nation. On top of that, Calipari is saying he thinks Ulis will be in the NBA next year. While that could be aimed at helping recruiting, no one can dismiss that notion after Ulis averaged 5.6 points and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 80.8 percent at the foul line, 42.9 percent from 3-point range and 40.6 percent overall.
