Kentucky men’s basketball coach [B]John Calipari[/B] is known for his ambition to win. But he’s not selfish when it comes to giving up quality players to the NBA draft.
John Calipari said he knew Miami native [B]Brandon Knight[/B] needed to test his talents in the 2011 NBA draft.
“I told Brandon, when I knew he was No. 3 through 8, I hugged him and said “I loved coaching ya, I wanna keep coaching you, but you need to do this,” John Calipari told the Orlando Sentinel Friday.
John Calipairi said he believes Brandon Knight will go in the first round of the NBA draft anywhere from the No. 3 to No. 8 pick.
