LEXINGTON, Ky. — Speaking for the first time — really, ever — to a large group of reporters, former No. 1 basketball recruit and would-be Kentucky player Shaedon Sharpe talked mostly about his future in a Friday conference call ahead of next week’s NBA draft.
Sharpe did, however, reflect briefly on the past few months. Asked by the Lexington Herald-Leader if he had any regrets about his unorthodox stint in Lexington, the 19-year-old seemed OK with the way the situation worked out.
“Like I said before, everything happens for a reason,” Sharpe said. “So I really don’t regret (not) playing. I’m working out for NBA teams now. So I guess I did something right.”
