Calipari reveals hypothetical NBA starting 5 from his Kentucky teams
It'll never happen, but John Calipari revealed what his hypothetical NBA starting lineup would look like if it was composed solely of players he's coached at Kentucky.
Calipari gave starting nods to these five players in an interview with Bleacher Report's Reid Forgrave:
| Position | Player |
|---|---|
| PG | John Wall |
| SG | Devin Booker |
| SF | Anthony Davis |
| PF | Karl-Anthony Towns |
| C | DeMarcus Cousins |
"But you still have Brandon (Knight)," Calipari said, perhaps hinting as to what his bench would look like. "You still have Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who is the X-factor, and he would be included on that team. You still have Eric Bledsoe, who, there may be games that he starts, just because of who he is. You still have Julius (Randle). You still have Trey (Lyles)."
In what might constitute an upset, Calipari made no mention of Tyler Ulis, whom he frequently hailed last season as one of his favorite players.
