Kentucky Pro Day Open Thread

Practice is about to begin, so come talk about what’s taking place in Rupp Arena!

Big Blue Madness is less than a week away, but on Sunday, we will get a peak at the new Kentucky Wildcats, who will hold their annual NBA Pro Day.

All 30 NBA teams are invited to the annual Pro Day, where the Wildcats will go through a combine-like practice conducted by Kentucky coaches and staff. Kentucky coaches and staff will direct the players through various agility and shooting drills in addition to 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 scrimmages.

This year’s Kentucky Basketball team, could feature anywhere between 4-6 potential draftees in the 2019 NBA Draft and several more in 2020. Keldon Johnson looks like the early favorite to be the first Wildcat selected, as he’s being projected in the lottery range of most mocks. PJ Washington is also getting a lot of NBA buzz as he looks primed for a breakout sophomore year.

The event is not open to fans, but you can still watch the Wildcats in action thanks to the SEC Network broadcast.
