We’ve reached the week of NBA Draft decisions, and we’re still waiting on Jarred Vanderbilt, PJ Washington and Wenyen Gabriel to decide whether they will return to Kentucky or stay in the NBA Draft.
Washington is going to make his decision Wednesday, which is the deadline date to withdraw from the draft while still keeping NCAA eligibility. Vanderbilt and Gabriel have not given official decision dates/times yet.
This week will greatly impact what Kentucky’s roster looks like next year.
