Here is an excerpt:
INDIANAPOLIS — Seven Kentucky players are expected to leave for the NBA after the NCAA Tournament is over, one veteran NBA scout told SNY.tv on the eve of the Final Four.
“I think all seven leave,” the scout, who has attended numerous Kentucky games and practices, told SNY.tv. “If they win it all, there’s no doubt in my mind all seven of them leave. No doubt.”
He added: “I’m telling you what I hear from some pretty good sources that seven of the 10 are gone.”
