Good morning, BBN!
Day 1 of the NBA Draft was a success, with so many kids realizing their childhood dreams.
For Kentucky specifically, Jayden Quaintance was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs with the 20th pick.
Despite the up-and-down story of his time at UK, I’m happy for the kid. He’s worked really hard to get to this point, and I hope he has a very successful NBA career.
However, with Day 1 wrapped up, Day 2 should bring some great stories as well. Most important for UK fans is seeing where UK legend Otega Oweh ends up.
He’s been all over NBA Draft boards for the second round, with some not even having him be taken. Hopefully, that’s not the case, and he gets drafted sooner rather than later.
Where would you like to see Otega end up?
Tweet of the Day
Very exciting.
