Writer calls Amari Williams sleeping giant in draft

[Cleatortoises]

He was a pretty darn good point forward/center type. Nice IQ and passing ability. Imagine him coming in on your 2nd unit and hes only costing you like $400k/year.

NBA League minimum with 0 years of service is 1.400152 million in 2025-26.

If we don't have a first round pick, will it be the worst day in Kentucky basketball history?

Answer with a simple google search

The last time Kentucky did not have a player selected in the first round of the NBA draft was in 2009. In that year, Jodie Meeks was the only Wildcat drafted, and he was selected in the second round. Since then, Kentucky has had at least one player drafted in the first round of every NBA draft.
