Calipari said he's been on the phones trying to determine where UK's 6 NBA Draft guys will be selected. Said it will be Davis at No. 1, MKG will be second Cat taken, then Jones. He's not sure where the other 3 will be selected.

Cal says he won't be the '24/7' coach of Dominican team he was last summer. Rod Strickland will be handling a lot of day-to-day stuff.

Cal says just like journalism, things in sports are changing. It ain't 5 years ago. Everyone has to change and be ahead of the curve.

Via Kyle Tucker, Cal on Karl Towns making the DR team:
"Will he make the team? I don’t know. He’s 16 years old. He’s getting muscled."

Four of the 6 is better than 2. If all else fails the two that aren't should be HIGH 2nd round picks.

Unfortunately the Cavs are probably the team that would most likely select both Lamb and Miller.

Yeah, this is a very deep draft. No shame in being a high second this year. Notice the lack of international players in the draft this year compared to last? They usually come out when the draft is weak so a team can take them and shelve them in Europe for a few years. Not this year. Every first round pick should be at least a rotation player for whoever drafts them.
