## Resource

Malachi Moreno, Kentucky’s towering freshman sensation, is staying put for his sophomore year — turning down the NBA draft to build his game and stock for a bigger leap. The 7-footer, who averaged nearly eight points, six rebounds, and 1.5 blocks while earning SEC All-Freshman honors, tested the NBA waters at the combine and even worked out with the Mavericks and Knicks. With projections pointing to a late second-round pick, he chose to return to Lexington, where his presence could reignite Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament run. His decision is a smart, strategic move — giving him time to mature, dominate the paint, and come back stronger for his pro shot.
