The 2024 NBA Draft is nearly upon us. Later tonight and continuing on Thursday afternoon, a quartet of former Kentucky players will hope to hear their names called and begin their professional basketball careers. Just how high will Reed Sheppard go? Is Rob Dillingham‘s stock actually slipping? Can Antonio Reeves sneak his way into the first round? Where exactly will Justin Edwards land? All of those questions will be answered very soon. The first round of the draft is being held tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY where Sheppard and Dillingham will be in the Green Room waiting for t...

An idle mind is a wandering one. That’s not the best place to be before receiving life-changing news. Reed Sheppard is staying busy a day before ahead of the NBA Draft. They’re taking the former Wildcat out to the ball game. Before the Subway Series between the Yankees and Mets began at Citi Field, Sheppard took center stage on the pitcher’s mound. The London native received the bright spotlight and dialed up a strike for the crowd. His mother, Stacey Reed Sheppard, was behind the plate to catch the first pitch. An alternate angle confirms Sheppard did in fact throw a strike from the rubber. W...

In just a couple of days, Rob Dillingham will begin his professional basketball career. The SEC’s Sixth Man of the Year is a projected lottery pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, which begins on Wednesday. But before Commissioner Adam Silver calls Dillingham’s name and the former Kentucky guard walks across that stage wearing the hat of his new franchise, he sat down with The Athletic’s Shams Charania to discuss his time at Kentucky, how he thinks he’ll fit in at the next level, buying his mom and sister a new house, and more. The most interesting topic of the five-minute conversation happened when ta...

Some good news and bad news, Big Blue Nation. The good news: The three best outside shooters going into the 2024 NBA Draft (set for June 26-27) all played for the Kentucky Wildcats this past season. According to CBB Analytics, Reed Sheppard (52.1 percent), Antonio Reeves (44.7 percent), and Rob Dillingham (44.4 percent) make up the top three of this year’s draft-eligible prospects who attempted at least two shots from deep per game. That’s pretty damn impressive. The bad news: Kentucky won a grand total of zero postseason games with them on the roster. That’s pretty damn annoying. When the fir...

There hasn’t been an NBA Draft where the No. 1 overall pick has not been this unknown since 2013 when the Cleveland Cavaliers shocked the world and drafted Anthony Bennett. That one didn’t work out so much, but this year, once again, there is no Victor Wembanyama, Zion Williamson, or some other no-brainer selection. The Atlanta Hawks may even trade away the No.1 pick for the right price. That means anything could happen and as of the time of this writing, Reed Sheppard has some tantalizing odds to go first overall. Our friends over at FanDuel list Reed Sheppard going No. 1 in the NBA Draft at ...

Kentucky is expected to have — at a minimum — two former players taken in next week’s 2024 NBA Draft in New York. Could another name or two (or three) sneak their way into the field? On Friday afternoon, ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo published their updated Top 100 prospects list for the upcoming Draft. The usual suspects, freshmen guards Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham, cracked the Top 10, with freshmen wing Justin Edwards and fifth-year guard Antonio Reeves positioned to hear their names called by Commissioner Adam Silver sometime in the second round. Additionally, fifth...

When Malik Monk joined forces with his former Kentucky teammate, De’Aaaron Fox, it brought back all the 2017 nostalgic feelings. It turns out Big Blue Nation wasn’t the only folks happy with the reunion. Monk has fit right in with Sacramento and the Kings made it a priority to keep the league’s most dynamic scorer off the bench on their team. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped the bomb that Monk will sign a four-year $78 million deal with the Kings, which includes a player option in the final year of the contract. The deal marks a huge raise for Monk, who made just over $9 million per season th...

DeMarcus Cousins has already won the T1 Taiwan League Championship this summer. Now, he’s teaming up with some fellow former Los Angeles Lakers to chase The Asian Tournament (TAT) title. Cousins is joining Dwight Howard and Quinn Cook on the Taiwan Mustangs, which is part-owned by Howard, for the event. The three were teammates on the 2019-20 Los Angeles squad that won the NBA Finals, although Cousins never played a game for the Lakers after tearing his left ACL in an offseason pickup game in August 2019. Howard previously played for the Taiwan Beer Leopards, the team with which Cousins won th...

Is Rajon Rondo about to get his coaching start with one of the NBA’s most storied franchises, one with which he won a title? Shams Charania is reporting that Rondo is a candidate to join JJ Redick’s staff at the Los Angeles Lakers. Earlier today, Shams also broke the news that Redick is signing a four-year deal with the Lakers for around $8 million per season. As you might remember, the Lakers pursued Dan Hurley earlier this month before Hurley turned down a six-year, $70 million contract to return to UConn. That cleared the way for Redick, who retired from his playing career in 2021 and has b...
