Before reclassifying, Kentucky Wildcats guard Shaedon Sharpe was the top recruit in his class. Now, he is eligible for the 2022 NBA draft.
Sharpe, a hyperathletic 6-foot-6 prospect from Canada who is still just 18 years old, hasn’t yet played his first game for the Wildcats. But before his debut, I wanted to share a quick barometer on how Sharpe stacks up in his new class. So I ranked him — as well as one hundred other players.
Why did I decide to rank so many prospects when only 58 players will hear their names called in the 2022 NBA draft? The reason is fairly simple: Depth has never mattered more in the NBA.
