  • ESPN to Televise Kentucky NBA Combine

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    ESPNU will once again televise Kentucky’s NBA Combine, which is set for Oct. 9 from 7-9 p.m.

    The Wildcats will go through various agility and shooting drills in addition to 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 scrimmaging.

    All 30 NBA teams are expected to attend as they have in previous years.

    Doris Burke, Seth Greenberg and Fran Fraschilla will be on hand to call the action for ESPNU, along with Andy Katz, who will handle sideline reports.

    It’s the third season in a row UK has had a practice televised live.

    Kentucky is coming off a 27-9 season that included both the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament championships. The Wildcats will have to replace 75.8 percent of their scoring and 70.0 percent of their rebounding from a year ago, but as John Calipari has done in every season he’s been at UK, he’s reloaded with even more talent.

    Calipari will welcome six newcomers to the 2016-17 roster, including Bam Adebayo, Brad Calipari, De’Aaron Fox, Wenyen Gabriel, Sacha Killeya-Jones and Malik Monk. Adebayo, Fox and Monk are projected first-round picks in 2017 by DraftExpress.com.

    In addition to the star-studded recruiting class, UK will also welcome back experience with sophomores Isaiah Briscoe and Isaac Humphries, and seniors Derek Willis, Dominique Hawkins and Mychal Mulder.
