NBA Prospect Malachi Moreno Returns to Kentucky
Kentucky Wildcats forward Malachi Moreno announced he will stay another year in college despite being projected as a mid‑first‑round NBA draft pick. The freshman center said on social media that after testing the draft waters he chose to withdraw his name before the deadline.
Moreno, a recent All‑SEC Freshman Team selection, posted averages of 7. 8 points and 6.
3 rebounds per game. He started all 30 games last season, anchoring the Wildcats' interior play.
His return gives Kentucky a solid frontcourt presence heading into the next campaign.
