John Calipari, just a little over a week after saying that the SEC tournament should be played in the fall, makes yet another irrational comment. John Calipari is the head coach for the Kentucky Wildcats and has been since 2009. Calipari certainly has much confidence in his players who will be entering the NBA Draft. Calipari believes Jamal Murray, Skal Labissiere and Tyler Ulis all should be lottery picks. Additionally, Calipari believes Jamal Murray, Kentucky's point guard last season, should be the #1 pick over Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram. This is surely a bizarre comment on Calipari's part, as Ben Simmons, former LSU forward, has consensually been thought as the #1 pick in this year's draft. Calipari is one of few who disagrees.
John Calipari stressed the fact that Murray was the "safe #1 choice". He also bragged about the #1 picks he has produced during his tenure at Kentucky. Calipari has produced three #1 draft picks, John Wall (2010), Anthony Davis (2012), and Karl-Anthony Towns (2015).
Murray himself also agrees with Calipari. Murray said in an interview, "I believe I am the best player in the draft." While Murray is undoubtedly a superstar, saying he is the best player in the draft is a rather illogical opinion.
Jamal MJurray is projected to be the #3 pick, according to CBSSports. Murray averaged 20.0 PPG and 5.2 RPG as a Wildcat last season, which was his freshman year.
