Thursday Headlines: NBA Draft Round 2 Edition

The NBA Draft continues tonight with Round 2, and we’ll see which former Kentucky Wildcats hear their names called.

Kobe Brea is a guy who has seen his draft stock rise over the last several weeks, and recent mock drafts have pegged him in the early-mid 2nd round.

Amari Williams is also a guy who could potentially hear his name called tonight. Some mock drafts have projected him to go in the 40s or towards the end of the 2nd round.

Guys like Jaxson Robinson, Lamont Butler, and Andrew Carr likely won't be drafted tonight, but it wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see those guys picked up after the draft for summer league deals to have a chance to impress NBA teams.

The 1st round had some interesting storylines, mainly Ace Bailey being drafted by the Utah Jazz after reportedly refusing to workout for the team in the pre-draft process and some reports that he told the Jazz he didn’t want to be drafted by them.

Another big surprise was Hansen Yang being selected 16th overall. The Chinese big man was pegged by most as a second-round selection, so seeing him drafted that high was a shock for many.

Let’s see what Round 2 brings tonight.
