14 former Kentucky basketball players are competing in 11 foreign countries

LEXINGTON, Ky. _ Kentucky's run of success at sending players to the NBA has been remarkable since John Calipari took over _ there are 27 ex-Wildcats on league rosters, more than any other school.

In addition to five players competing in the G League (listed below), there are 14 ex-Cats playing in 11 foreign countries, according to EuroBasket.com and its affiliated websites.

Several are household names in the Bluegrass _ including Dominique Hawkins, Josh Harrellson, Kyle Wiltjer and Terrence Jones.

Catch up with the former Cats playing overseas (statistics were as of Monday):
