And his head coach at BYU, Kevin Young, who was a longtime NBA assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns, prepared him for the league's style and schemes. "KY just put us in positions to be a pro," Dybantsa said. "You've seen me a lot of isolations, you've seen me a lot of pick-and-roll. You've seen all of us in a lot of early action. We scored pretty early in the shot clock. So, I feel like I got used to how the NBA plays in college."
Kentucky is expected to hire Jackson State head coach Mo Williams as an assistant under Mark Pope, multiple sources tell KSR. The move comes on the heels of his son’s commitment to the Wildcats, 2026 four-star guard Mason Williams becoming Pope’s first pledge of the spring on Friday. They took an official visit to Kentucky together last week.
Brad Miller: It stinks to lose like a guy like De’Aaron Fox who wanted to be here. He went to Kentucky, which is like a college version of Sacramento. They only have Kentucky and they love them and they get 20 thousand fans a game and you know that love that they feel he won't be here. So, you know, it hurts.

Wall, who played alongside Davis during their college days at Kentucky, further fueled speculation by linking him to his hometown team. “You can’t believe everything you hear on the news, but you be hearing that he wants to go back to Chicago and see what’s going on,” Wall continued. “So, I think they’re trying to blow it up and build around Cooper Flagg and get rid of some of the other pieces, but they are one of those dark horse teams if they can stay healthy — keep AD there and let Kyrie come back. I feel like they could’ve been a team in the West, but I think with Nico Harrison’s firing they might end up going in a different direction.”
Shams Charania: After 11 seasons, John Wall says he has retired from basketball. Wall, a five-time NBA All-Star out of Kentucky, played for the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets.

Ross then asked Herro if he thought Chamberlain “dropped 100” while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks in March 1962. “Yeah,” the Kentucky alumni muttered, before questioning the popular streamer if he believed in history. “You think history is a real thing?” Herro asked, to which Ross replied with a confident “yeah.” “Nah, I don’t believe in history,” the NBA star said, shaking his head and leaning back in his chair. “No, I’m deadass.”

“I didn’t start in the first four to five games (at Kentucky). And I called him in and said, ‘Look, Shai, I know you should be starting or could be starting, but I kind of like this rotation,'” John Calipari said. “He looked at me and said, ‘Coach, I trust you. I’m fine. I’ll see you at practice.’ Well, game nine and 10, I started him. And from there, he was a lottery pick. “He made himself a lottery pick to the point that Cleveland wanted to draft him, and he said, ‘No, I’m not going to Cleveland.’ I was at the table.
