As Julius Randle heads off to the NBA, fellow teammates Dakari Johnson and Alex Poythress have decided to forgo the Draft and stay for another year at Kentucky.
Playing in the NBA has always been a dream of mine, but I want to make sure that I’m NBA ready before I make that jump – Alex Poythress
Poythress will return for his junior season which as we know is unheard of in them parts.
Dakari will return for his sophomore season with Poythress, also along with Willie Cauley-Stein and Marcus Lee…
After looking at the information provided to me by Coach Cal and the NBA committee, my family and I made the decision for me to return to UK for my sophomore year – Dakari Johnson
Kentucky is looking good so far. Completely understand why the decided to stay in Lexington and not participate in this years stacked Draft.
