John Calipari doesn’t want Kentucky to be distracted by thoughts of this year’s NBA draft, so he brought in Billy Hunter, executive director of the NBA Players Association, to talk to the Wildcats about focusing on the task at hand.

“To basically tell the kids: You together, collectively, have a chance to do something special. Worry about this,” Calipari said. “There’s no reason to be talking, thinking (about the NBA). Just do your thing. … There’s time to worry.”

Kentucky has as many as six players who could be selected in this year’s draft.

“I’m trying to take that off their plate,” Calipari said, “which is why I did what I did.”
