Seven Kentucky players are expected to leave for the NBA after the
NCAA Tournament is over, one veteran NBA scout told SNY.tv on the eve of
the Final Four.
"I think all seven leave," the scout, who has attended numerous
Kentucky games and practices, told SNY.tv. "If they win it all, there's
no doubt in my mind all seven of them leave. No doubt."
He added: "I'm telling you what I hear from some pretty good sources that seven of the 10 are gone."
The group of seven includes freshman big man Karl-Anthony Towns, projected as the No. 1 overall pick to the Knicks by DraftExpress.com; junior center Willie Cauley-Stein (No. 6); freshman shooting guard Devin Booker (No. 17); freshman forward Trey Lyles (No. 19); sophomore center Dakari Johnson (No. 39); sophomore guard Andrew Harrison (No. 53); and sophomore guard Aaron Harrison (N/A).
Might any of them stay if Kentucky doesn't win the NCAA championship?
"The only ones who would stay [if they lose] would be a [Trey] Lyles, maybe a [Devin] Booker," the scout said. "The
rest of them are all going, I don't care if they win or lose. I think
if they lose there's maybe a moment [of pause] by Trey Lyles or Devin
Booker. Those are the only two that I think may pause at all. Regardless
what happens I'm fairly confident that the Harrison twins, Dakari, Karl
and Willie are all gone. No doubt in my mind."
