Gators in the NBA

[MidwestChomp]

oUF is one of seven schools with at least 10 players in the NBA (UF has 12). UF tops the list in NBA life expectancy at just over 6 years and Kentucky is last at just over 4 years. Quite impressive.

According to nba scouts he prepares his players better than anyone for the nba

And to think several years ago people on the old board said he wasn't good at developing players.

I wonder how Cal's players have fared in the NBA since he got to KY. I would think he has the most in the NBA in his time there just due to getting who he wants basically every year but I wonder how good they are doing.

That's a good thought....but those kids he gets are freelancers and don't really "develop" much at UK. Surprisingly he has a few kids who came back this year.

I know it's the common theme around here to bash Calipari...but (imo) he's done a great job there, basically bringing them back to being the premier CBB program in the country. His recruiting is unbelievable.

He is selling the NBA...not being an all-time great Kentucky Wildcat. Each year they decide whether to stay or go...those that can go do go. Billy develops Gators who can then become NBA'ers (Beal an exception).

Hoping the Rockets suck this year for allowing Parsons to leave.

Here's a list of Kentucky players if anyone is interested. Davis is obviously a standout, with Wall and Cousins on the next tier. Julius Randall broke his leg last night, FYI.

Billy is great at preparing guys for the NBA. Eventually kids will catch on to this and Billy will find himself having to turn away the "role players" because he'll have all the best players knocking on his door to come play for him.
