Square one for Willard it seems - bummer. They seemed like they were going to have a good back court to build on.
Will be curious on the in and out of the BE.

Lewis is a waste of money. He would be happy playing for the worst team that would pay him the highest contract. He wants to take 30 shots a game and be one of the leading scorers in D1, even if his team was 10-18.

Kentucky it is…
The 10th pick of the draft is guaranteed 2 years and 12.3m with 2 more team option years for a total of 20m.
The 20th pick of the draft is guaranteed 2 years and 7-8m total with 2 more team option years for a total of 17m.
It’s fairly obvious to anyone who knows basketball what the right choice is if you’re a projected 1st round pick.
Could you make an argument that playing another year in college under Hurley would be better for a player? Sure. I wouldn’t agree with it, though. Playing against other pros in the G league with all the NBA resources available to you while having secured your financial future should never be passed up.

Kentucky would be desperate enough to do it - no one can look at Hurley and see why he's winning, and the fact that building culture and a system is how it's being done. One year mercenaries that play for pay, don't care about what jersey they're wearing, aren't how you win.
