A recent ESPN Mock Draft has five Kentucky Wildcats being selected including Reed Sheppard

ESPN recently released an updated 2024 NBA Mock Draft, and it had five Kentucky Wildcats being selected with four of them going in the first round. 

Let's take a look at which Cats this mock draft predicts will be selected in the 2024 NBA Draft. 

10. Justin Edwards

15. DJ Wagner

20. Rob Dillingham 

25. Reed Sheppard 

38. Aaron Bradshaw

It comes as no surprise that Dillingham and Sheppard are shooting up draft boards as they have been two of the best players in all of college hoops. 

Edwards has struggled, so I am a bit surprised to still see him near the top of the mock draft, but the pros see his potential and get excited, which makes sense. Edwards also plays good defense, which will translate to the next level. 

Bradshaw will shoot up mock drafts once he gets back on the floor, which should be on Saturday against UNC Wilmington, according to Coach Calipari. 

Wagner will likely finish in the top ten pick in the draft as he is slowly heating up and will be a big reason why the Cats make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. 

There will be a TON of Kentucky players selected in the 2024 NBA Draft, many of them being guards, and we all know there is no bet surer to hit than drafting a Kentucky guard.
