Like every other college basketball player, Kevin Knox dreams of making his name known in the NBA. After careful consideration, the 6’9 Kentucky freshman decided to take that next step as he declared for the 2018 NBA Draft.

In his first year as a Wildcat, Knox was able to lead this squad to an SEC Championship and an NCAA Tournament run to the Sweet 16. Kentucky’s forward has also led the team in scoring averaging 15.6 points per game shooting about 44 percent from the field.
Even though this is a huge step for Knox, this really puts a dent in this Kentucky team as they were finally figuring out their identity at the end of the season. However, with coach Calipari preaching his “One and Done” mentality the Wildcats have been able to figure out how to be a top contender year to year.
As he takes this next step to fulfil his dream, Knox is predicted to go as a mid/late lottery pick in this year’s draft.
God gives us choices and we trust him to make the right one!!?? pic.twitter.com/t7RFRhljAK
