I just received the latest mock draft from the NBA, and as usual, several Kentucky players are mentioned in the first round. Enes Kanter is number five, but we will leave that for another time. Terrance Jones is number six and Brandon Knight is number nineteen. Deron Lamb is not projected at this time to go in the first round, but he could only need a big run in the tounament, to gain entry.
Coach Cal proclaimed last years coup in the first round of the draft, as the greatest night in the history of Kentucky Basketball. I don't know about that, but it did leave us fans with a hollow feeling about the future. Now it looks like something like that could happen again. Don't get me wrong, I'am just as excited as any one when we year that Cal has the number one recruiting class lined up again for next year, but it seems we never get to know these players. One year with Kentucky and ten years with an NBA team, feels to much like a flirt, rather then a good relationship.
Well, thats the way its going to be, and I will just have to learn to stop and enjoy the flirtation with greatness, because you see. I still remember the last years of Tubby and the Billy Gillispie tenure, when all it seemed we ever did was take the average girls to the prom.
