We are now 10 hours away from the NBA Draft deadline and Kentucky fans are still waiting to hear from Oscar Tshiebwe, Antonio Reeves and Chris Livingston.
Let’s start with those three.
– Tshiebwe told a reporter in Charlotte earlier that he will announced his decision at 5:00 p.m. ET today.
Spoke with Oscar Tshiebwe following today’s session with the #Hornets. He said the workout went well. He is going to announce whether he’s staying in the draft or returning to Kentucky at 5 p.m.
“Just trust the process,” he said. “But it’s going to be a good decision tonight.” pic.twitter.com/85iZv2RoV3

– We haven’t heard much of anything from Reeves. It feels like this one could go either way. He is squeezing in one last NBA workout prior to the deadline:

– Most people expect Livingston to remain in the draft and likely work on developing in the NBA G League.
Some notes:
– None of the three Kentucky players are projected to be drafted according to the latest ESPN mock draft. Cason Wallace has also slipped out of the lottery to No. 17.
– Five-star big man Ron Holland, who recently de-committed from Texas, has committed to G League Ignite.
– Former Kansas big man Ernest Udeh has committed to TCU
