Three Kentucky basketball players declare for NBA Draft; Miller to return


University of Kentucky junior DeAndre Liggins and freshmen Terrence Jones and Brandon Knight have declared for the NBA Draft, the school announced Wednesday morning.


None of the three have signed or announced plans to sign with an agent.

Meanwhile, junior Darius Miller will be returning to UK for his senior season, Miller's father said later Wednesday.
Liggins, a 6-foot-6 guard from Chicago, averaged 8.6 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 39.1 percent from three-point range.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to enter my name into the draft, putting me one step closer to realizing my dream," Liggins said in UK's news release. "Growing up in a tough environment in Chicago, it's a pleasure to have an opportunity to do something special. This is another challenge I'm looking forward to, to have my game evaluated by pro scouts and see how I rank against some of the top players in the world."
