CBS Predicts 2 Wildcats in 2015 NBA Draft Lottery

Gary Parrish of CBS Sports has made his prediction of the 2015 NBA Lottery and 2 Kentucky Wildcats are in the top 14.

4. Karl Towns (Kentucky)

You didn’t think we could have a projection without a Kentucky Wildcat (or two), did you? Towns has forever had a relationship with John Calipari and was always going to enroll at UK. Still, like the guys ahead of him here, he’ll likely spend just one year on campus.

8. Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky)

Cauley-Stein could’ve probably been a lottery pick after his freshman season and after his sophomore season — despite the fact that he suffered a season-ending ankle injury during this past NCAA Tournament. Who knows if he’ll ever develop post moves? But Cauley-Stein is a true 7-footer who can alter shots and dunk everything, and those guys, especially when they’re also high-character guys, don’t typically slide too far.

This is a little early to be predicting, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a couple more Wildcats make strides to this list.
