I hate it for keldon.. but i pretty sure this would happen.

Bad thing is, i dont know if hes ready, even with an axe to grind, to make these teams pay.

He was the perfect example of someone who could have played one more year and made millions of dollars more.

I mea, jesus, its not like kentucky is some crap hole no fun place.. still feel bad for him and hope he proves everyone wrong.

I wonder if Kevin Porter Jr went to a better school would he have been picked by now ?

Going to USC definitely didn’t help

I assumed Cleveland took him and my stream was behind all of you all. Guess not. KJ is going to be used as an example of a guy that should have come back if he doesn't get picked in the next 4 picks. He is PJ without a second season.

I hope Cal recommended him to come back or KJ got bad info from people. Don't want this to be used against us like we pushed him out when he wasn't ready.

He still seems extremely genuine. Losing a parent is hard. Losing one at that age? Devastating. And now he’s going to be going pro.

Don’t worry kid. She sees you.
Agree WTH you know the kid is thinking of her at that time and wishing she was there to see this moment. Just a piss poor question.

Apparently, ESPN was at the Johnson's table when the Cavs changed their mind. EFF YOU, Dan Gilbert and the Cavs organization.

A couple guys invited to the draft are going to fall to 2nd round.

Yep. Lots of foreign picks have thrown a lot of wrenches in the works.

That’s shameful. “Hi. Let’s invite you to be embarrassed on worldwide television.”

And if that’s really true about the Cavs, it really shows what a **** hole that city and its teams are. 50 more years of suckage be upon you.

When you have the number of players getting drafted that UK has on a yearly basis..........it's inevitable that some of those guys will end up making the wrong choice leaving.

In hindsight, it's easy to say it was the wrong decision.......but wasn't he projected by the majority to go way before this?

In other words, how could he have known he'd drop this far.

I'm not an NBA GM, nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, but I was pretty sure KJ was making a bad decision.

Looks like his hopes are about to be crushed. 2 chances left. I can see him end up in the G League and then overseas if not selected.

Why? He didn’t seem nervous driving around around in like $500k car. Got to put in work before you act like you are the ****.


That’s just weird dude. It’s one thing to say “damn KJ clearly made a mistake “ but to... be happy and relish in it? A former UK guy? It’s just a little dramatic. Remember he’s, 19 years old. How old are you?
