The NBA landscape has welcomed four more former Kentucky Wildcats, with Andrew Carr joining the Portland Trail Blazers and Lamont Butler signing with the Atlanta Hawks as undrafted free agents. Meanwhile, Koby Brea was selected by the Phoenix Suns, and Amari Williams was picked up by the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA Draft.
Carr’s versatility could earn him a spot at power forward or backup center with the Trail Blazers, who also drafted Yang Hansen. Butler’s chances of contributing to the Hawks appear promising, potentially as a backup point guard.
Brea and Williams will join teams with NBA Finals experience and superstar talent. The Celtics and Suns have both competed at the highest level in recent seasons, offering opportunities for growth and development.
The Wildcats’ presence in the NBA continues to grow, with these former stars poised to make an impact in their new teams.
