With John Calipari coaching at Kentucky, you knew it was a matter of time. The regular season tipping off on Tuesday night and 20 former Wildcats are NBA rosters. UK has been among the schools with the most professionals over the last few years, but the six draftees from the national championship team have sent Kentucky past Duke and into the top spot. With UK players on 15 of the NBA's 30 teams, there's a pretty good chance you'll see a familiar any time you turn on a game this season. The NBA's opening week is proof.
