Chris Livingston has his mind made up on the 2023 NBA Draft.
A season ago, Livingston was an SEC All-Freshman contributor for John Calipari’s Kentucky squad after appearing in all 34 games (26 starts). After the season was over, Livingston announced he was going to be investigating the NBA Draft.
Ahead of Wednesday’s deadline, Livingston has reportedly decided to remain in the draft per a report from NBA insider Shams Charania. According to that report, the 6-foot-6 Livingston had a strong showing throughout the pre-draft process.
