At one stage, all three freshmen were projected as first-round NBA picks in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Now, not so much.
DraftExpress.com has all three listed as first-round picks in 2015: with Johnson at No. 17, Aaron Harrison at 25 and Andrew Harrison at 29.
“They need to come back to school because their stock value in the NBA has really dropped big-time,” Dick Vitalesaid of the Harrisons on ESPN the other night during the Florida-Kentucky game.
If all three players do come back, Karl Towns and several of his fellow incoming recruits say it will only make Kentucky deeper and stronger in 2014-15.
“If the Harrisons come back, that’s even more fuel to the fire we have over there,” the 7-foot Towns told SNY.tv after playing brilliantly and going for 22 points and 11 rebounds in St. Joe’s 79-70 loss to Montverde Academy, ranked No. 3 nationally by USA Today, before a capacity crowd Sunday night in the Metro Classic at Kean University.
“We have such a great recruiting class. We have big men, we have shooting guards. Now if they wanna stay and join the party it’s going to be very fun, and I just see us doing great things.”
