ESPN's Chad Ford: gives strong endorsement of John Calipari

+

"If I had a kid, who was a good basketball player, who could make his team, I'd send him to John Calipari because he prepares these kids for the pros," Ford said. "He did Karl-Anthony Towns a huge favor by telling him, 'don't play on the perimeter, I'm going to teach you how to play in the post. I'm going to live through it.' He did a great thing with Willie Cauley-Stein. I think he did great stuff with Devin Booker. He helps these kids get drafted and I'm a Calipari fan for that reason. From a draft perspective, I love him."
