Kentucky Players Say Same Damn Thing About Declaring for NBA Draft

All seven Kentucky players who declared for the draft today said the same thing about the process: "it was a tough decision, but we're just chasing our dreams."

In a press conference earlier today, Kentucky stars Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Willie Cauley-Stein, Karl-Anthony Towns, Trey Lyles, Dakari Johnson, and Devin Booker all announced that they would be entering the 2015 NBA draft. While it looks ridiculous to see essentially an entire team enter the NBA at the same time, it also sounded ridiculous because they all answered the same question in the same way.

A reporter asked if it was difficult to make the decision to leave school for the NBA's green pastures and they all said essentially: "It was a tough decision, but we're just following our dreams." Some actually said exactly the same thing, others spiced it up with a little word choice and order variations. It was like a Marshawn Lynch press conference without all the hostility.
