Kentucky Briefing: The Wildcats have four projected first-rounders on the 2023-24 basketball team

The Kentucky basketball team has four first-round picks in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft, according to a CBS Sports mock draft.

Let's take a look at who CBS Sports thinks will be drafted and by which NBA team.

DJ Wagner: 5th Overall, Oklahoma City Thunder

Justin Edwards: 10th Overall, Oklahoma City Thunder

Aaron Bradshaw: 12th Overall, Oklahoma City Thunder

Ugonna Onyenso: 17th Overall, Oklahoma City Thunder

No, this is not a typo; this article by CBS Sports seems to believe the Thunder will trade for picks and take four Kentucky players in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Thunder won't do this, but the part that should excite Kentucky fans is that the Wildcats have four players being selected in the first round of this mock draft.

All of these players are set to have significant roles for Kentucky this season, but Bradshaw and Onyenso will need to get healthy as we inch closer and closer to the start of the season.

Coach Calipari will send multiple players from this 2023-24 Kentucky roster to the next level after the upcoming season.

Stoops Troops

Kentucky's win total on FanDuel is over/under 7.5, and I believe the Wildcats will hit the over on this line. The thing that makes this line scary is knowing the Wildcats have to face off with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs, and Tennessee Volunteers, who are all primed for good seasons. Two of these ball games will be played in Kroger Field, so perhaps the Wildcats can steal one of them.

This Kentucky football team has talent all over; with stud receivers Barion Brown and Dane Key ready to catch passes from star quarterback Devin Leary, this offense is set to improve a ton this season. Liam Coen is back calling players after a short stent with the Los Angeles Rams, which leads me to believe this team will move the football with ease.

Kentucky is one of the most underrated teams in college football this season and will have the opportunity to prove that on September 2nd against Ball State.
