If the NBA Draft were held today, Kentucky could have all seven of its eligible players drafted, according to DraftExpress.com.
That would break the record of six, set by Kentucky in 2012.
Aaron Harrison had previously not been on the mock draft, but with guys like Jakob Poeltl of Utah, Kris Dunn of Providence and Caris LeVert of Michigan opting not to declare, Harrison is now listed at No. 60 — or Mr. Irrelevant — in the 2015 Draft.
“When someone withdraws from the draft, everyone behind that person moves up a spot,” Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com told SNY.tv. “There were around 15-20 guys who almost certainly would have had a strong chance to get drafted who elected not to enter this draft, which caused a lot of guys to move up. There will be a few international players who will withdraw at the deadline on June 15th that will move up some guys even further.”
Kentucky’s picks now look like this:
No. 1 – Karl-Anthony Towns
No. 6 – Willie Cauley-Stein
No. 15 – Devin Booker
No. 17 – Trey Lyles
No. 34 – Dakari Johnson
No. 47 – Andrew Harrison
No. 60 – Aaron Harrison
Meantime, Duke would have three players selected in the first round, while Kansas, Arizona and Wisconsin would each have two.
