Coach Calipari Responds To Kentucky’s Ashton Hagans
Coach Calipari recently responded to Kentucky’s Ashton Hagans declaring for the 2020 NBA Draft.
The young star recorded 11.5 points and 6.4 assists per game for the Wildcats last year. Most project him to be a second-round selection.
“He is ready for this,” Calipari tweeted.
“From where he was when he got here two seasons ago to where he is now isn’t even close. He’s a completely different player and he’s built his skills and his confidence to take that next step.”
Calipari then added a little mor guidance.
“We know what he can do to change the game defensively and how much better he got offensively, but what’s going to separate him is his competitiveness.
“That kid is a winner. His competitive spirit drives him and is why I love him. If I’m going to battle, I’m taking Ashton.”
How will Calipari and Kentucky replace that production next year? Time will tell.
