In what turned out to be another great draft year for UK all 4 of our players going into the draft this year (Kanter, Knight, Liggins, Harrellson) all got drafted last night. Surprisingly Knight did not make the top 5 but it just goes to show how impossible it is to really predict everything. Here's where and when the 4 went:
Kanter - 3rd pick to Utah
Knight - 8th pick to Detroit
Harrellson - 45th pick (R2) after New York purchased 45th pick from New Orleans
Liggins - 53rd pick (R2) to Orlando
Liggins was always kind of expected to get drafted but Harrellson was very much in the air so for him to not only get drafted but ahead of Liggins is a surprise.
On a side note, Josh Selby who picked Kansas over us before last season went 49th (After Harrellson) and Tennessee's Scotty Hopson went undrafted.
Congrats to all of our players as they move on to pursue their dreams.
