Knight & Jones Leaving UK

Earlier today it was confirmed that super-talented freshmen Terrance Jones and Brandon Knight will both forego their sophomore seasons at Kentucky to go pro. This is no real surprise considering all of Coach Cal's star freshmen have left after one year. What is more interesting to me, is that Jones and Knight, although good, are the least talented of Calipari's freshmen in about 3 or 4 seasons. Last year Cal had John Wall, the year before he had Tyreke Evans and before 'Reke he had D-Rose, this year's probable MVP in the NBA. I think Kentucky had a really good chance to win the title next season if Jones and Knight returned. Ineligible Turkish freshman, Enes Kanter is also going pro. I really believe they both could have used another year of college. Jones, who is extremely talented, seems to get lost in games when he is not the focal point of the offense. He also seems to be very slow compared to small forwards in the NBA. Brandon Knight came up very big in the NCAA tournament but doesn't seem to be ready to be a starting point guard in the league. On the positive side of things, these players are part of a small number of super freshmen that came out for the draft.
