John Calipari Boasts About Kentucky's Rookies' Success In The NBA
Devin Booker, the youngest player in the NBA, had a 34-point game for the Phoenix Suns last night during a loss to the Miami Heat.
It was the 6-foot-6, former Kentucky guard's second 30-plus point outing of the season.
That's significant, as there's only been one other rookie to have multiple 30-plus point games during the 2015-16 season. That player also went to Kentucky: likely NBA Rookie of the Year Karl-AnthonyTowns.
John Calipari took to Twitter this morning to boast about that fact.
">@DevinBook became the 2nd
Heard last night that @DevinBook became the 2nd @NBA rookie with multiple 30 pt games this season. Wonder who the other one was? #KAT

How many games could an NBA team comprised of just former Kentucky players win? At least 50, probably.
