ESPN NBA Insider Chad Ford talked about which UK players are likely to return and the Harrison Twins not liking what they are hearing from the NBA during today’s chat.
What’s the latest rumor for the twins, Dakari, young & poythress? A lot if noise around saying some are going to return to Lex?
Chad Ford (1:18 PM)
Trying to figure that out as we speak. Think James Young is very likely to leave for the draft. I think the two most likely to stay are Dakari Johnson and Alex Poythress though I wonder if Cauley-Stein’s decision to stay may push Johnson out. With Karl Towns coming in (and Towns may be the most talented of all of them) there could be playing time issues. As for the Harrison twins, they’ve wanted to go to the NBA all season. I know they’ve been talking to agents and trying to figure things out. The challenge for them is that the feedback from the NBA hasn’t been what they want to hear — even with their strong play in the tournament. If they want guarantees they are first round picks, not sure either will get it. So … it might push them to come back. I think they could really help their stock if they played one more year in Lexington.
