Kentucky Players Talk about Draft Status: Lamb Returning

Everywhere you look here, there are potential one-and-done freshmen starring in the East Regional.
Of the Top 10 players on Chad Ford’s Big Board, three were sent to the “Brick City”: No. 3 Harrison Barnes of North Carolina, No. 4 Jared Sullinger of Ohio State and No. 10 Brandon Knight of Kentucky.Kentucky forward Terrence Jones is also a potential lottery pick, and fellow frosh Doron Lamb could get drafted as well.

“Really, I am just  having fun in this,” Jones said Saturday, a day before Kentucky will meet North Carolina for a spot in the Final Four. “I don’t know what [Sullinger] said. That’s his decision and that’s a good decision since he felt he could take this team farther [next year].”

Knight, the latest in a line of one-and-done John Calipari point guards that includes Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, and John Wall, was equally vague.

“I am enjoying the time that I’m having here, and you know loving the college experience,” he said.

Lamb, the Queens native and former Oak Hill Academy star, was the only one to make a definitive statement.
“I am just having fun playing with these teammates and playing with Coach,” Lamb said. “I just want to have fun. I’ll be back next year, so I can’t be worried about leaving.”
