Five UK players are in the latest mock draft from DraftExpress.com, and their projections are unchanged from the previous update a couple of weeks ago.

The new mock draft, posted Monday night, includes: 6. Skal Labissiere (Pelicans), 9. Jamal Murray (Jazz), 31. Isaiah Briscoe (Celtics), 47. Tyler Ulis (Timberwolves) and 56. Marcus Lee (Grizzlies).

Senior forward Alex Poythress remains the No. 86 player on DraftExpress.com’s list of the Top 100 prospects eligible for this year’s draft. There are 60 total picks in the NBA Draft.

That could be fun to watch.

Wiggins could have been a part of the UK extended NBA family. What a waste of his year in college.

You won't see another wiggins type be at Kansas

One would think so, but there's always that kid who wants "Kentucky-lite" - a quasi-Kentucky experience without the pressure. Wiggins was able to fly under the radar his freshman year because he had a coach (and a fanbase) who seemed content with the occasional 20 point performance augmented by two or three flashy dunks per game. He was never truly pushed to the brink, never truly challenged, and that's exactly why he picked Self.

The net result for that was a 2/6 shooting performance and second round loss to a 10 seed.

Tyler with KAT? Oh my.

Just a question, with how good of a season he is having, why is Grayson Allen not a projected pick in either round?

They likely dont think he;s gonna declare. He's projected in their 2017 mock.

If he declares this yr, they'll move him in the late 1st, early 2nd range.

Thank you for the information. I'm most curious about Briscoe and Ulis's decisions. Calipari made a comment earlier indicating that Ulis would be gone after this year, but I have to imagine the thought of playing with Monk and Fox on a championship contender is tempting. I think Briscoe could definitely improve his stock with another year.

I will be surprise if Skal goes in the lottery.

We need more in there and higher projections
