For much of the regular season, Kentucky coach John Calipari has been telling NBA executives that his prized twin guards—Aaron and Andrew Harrison—would be returning to Lexington for their sophomore season.
But a source close to the process told Sporting News that no such decision has been made yet, especially with the Wildcats heading into the Final Four.
Increasingly, general managers and talent evaluators around the league feel that Calipari will be proven wrong, and that both Harrisons will join the line of one-and-done players at Kentucky, jumping into the first round of this coming draft.
“I think the tournament has helped those two as much as anyone,” one general manager told Sporting News. “They were disappointments for this year, there’s no other way to say it. They looked overhyped, they didn’t look like first-round picks. But as the season has gone on and looking at how things came together, they look more like the players we thought they were coming in.”
