7 Kentucky Players Leaving for the NBA Draft

Another year, another fresh start for the Kentucky basketball program.

Five days after falling short of an undefeated season, the Wildcats' top seven players have declared for the NBA Draft.

The early departures are nothing new for John Calipari's team, but this might be the most significant loss he's faced. These seven players combined for 79% of the team's minutes, 87% of the points, 78% of the rebounds, and 71% of the assists in 2014-15. The only upper-classmen out of that group is Cauley-Stein, who was a junior.

But don't feel too upset for Calipari. He currently has the top-ranked recruiting class coming into to Lexington next year and could add another player or two before the fall arrives.
