I was chatting with ChatGPT and became curious about the previous night's NBA draft, so I asked the following question:

Me:

In the recent NBA draft, two Kentucky Wildcats players, who were not starters, were selected in the top ten of the NBA draft. Has there ever been an instance where a college team had two bench players picked in the top ten of the NBA draft?
If so, can you provide a specific historical example?

ChatGPT:
Based on my knowledge and historical records, there is no documented instance of two bench players from the same college team being selected in the top ten of the NBA draft. Typically, the top ten picks are starters or major contributors to their college teams, as NBA teams tend to prioritize players with substantial collegiate playing time and impact.
The situation you described—where both players were bench players for Kentucky and yet were drafted in the top ten—is quite extraordinary and seems to be a unique occurrence in last night's NBA draft.
Congratulations to Reed Sheppard & Rob Dillingham!!!

You can form your own opinions about what this indicates about their coach.
