Wildcats shine in draft

Posted Friday, June 25, 2010, at 12:33 PM

NBA Commisioner David Stern congratulates Kentucky's John Wall as being selected as the overall number one pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. Can you say cha-ching?!

Not one, not two, not three, not four, but five Kentucky Wildcats were drafted in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft. That is an amazing accomplishment and a huge compliment to Kentucky's basketball program.

John Wall was the first overall selection made by the Washington Wizards. Reports have Wall stepping directly into the starting lineup and running the show. Is he ready for it after only one year of college ball?

Several questions here:

What will John Calipari and Kentucky be left with this year?

Which Wildcat draftees will be succesful?

Which ones will not?

Which NBA teams came out of the draft smelling like a rose?

What will the Miami Heat do with all their 'under the cap' salary?

Etc., etc., etc.
