... in 1996, your University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team had three players taken in the first round of the NBA Draft. The draft took place in the very building where the Cats won their sixth National Championship just a few months earlier (East Rutherford, NJ). Sophomore Antoine Walker was selected sixth by the Boston Celtics. Senior guard Tony Delk was selected 16th by the Charlotte Hornets. Walter McCarty went 19th to the New York Knicks. A fourth Wildcat was taken in the second round at pick number 52 by the Indiana Pacers: Mark Pope. Other names of note from the '96 Draft: Iverson, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, Kobe and Nash. Wildcat head coach Rick Pitino was in attendance and provided analysis for the TV coverage. He then turned his back Big Blue for stinky cash and filthy sex at Fazoli's.
