Wall among those headed to NBAEmail Print Comments 106Share202 retweet 198ESPN.com news services

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky freshmen Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins, Daniel Orton and John Wall and junior Patrick Patterson will enter their names in this year's NBA draft, the school announced in a release on Wednesday.


All five players are projected as first-round picks.

It marks the second straight season a UK player has declared early for the draft. All-American Jodie Meeks decided to forego his senior season last year to turn pro.

Kentucky Losing 5 to the NBA

Five UK players, including John Wall, declare for NBA draft - ESPN

I hoped they had fun this year, because I doubt they pull a class that dominant again soon.

Selby is not going there and Knight is not as good as Wall for whoever tries to be smart.

I agree I dont see Cal pulling off a class like he did last season.

Thats because this class doesn't have the players that were in last years class. There obviously aren't any Wall or Cousin prototypes out there, and Bledsoe is a pretty rare talent as well. That class is a once in a decade kind of thing.


He will however, by the time its all said and done, "reload" with another top 5 class. Its not possible to equal this years class, so its not really a fair comparison, IMO.

Exactly. How the upcoming class compares to last year's is irrelevant. How it compares to what everyone else is bringing in is what matters.
