Kentucky’s Olivier Sarr goes undrafted, likely to get audition via NBA’s summer league

Kentucky’s Olivier Sarr was not selected in Thursday night’s NBA Draft.

UK teammates Isaiah Jackson and Brandon Boston were the 22nd and 51st overall selections, respectively. Jackson ended up with the Indiana Pacers, and Boston will be headed to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Sarr, a 7-foot forward who transferred to UK after three seasons at Wake Forest, averaged 10.8 points and 5.2 rebounds for the Cats.

Sarr is likely to get an audition for the NBA in this year’s NBA Summer League.

“I am disappointed for Olivier that he did not get selected tonight, but not discouraged,” Calipari said afterward. “Olivier is a mature kid with great skills and range for a player his size. With the right opportunity, I think Olivier is going to find a spot and will have a successful career. I am looking forward to seeing who gets him because it will be a steal.”
