LEXINGTON, Ky.

Kentucky’s starting lineup of three freshmen and two sophomores did most everything together. Now, they will go their separate ways in the NBA.

Freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague, and sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb declared for the draft Tuesday night.

“We made it work,” Jones said. “We all wanted to be there and do it together like we’ve done everything else together.”

The five join seniors Darius Miller, who is also projected to be drafted, and Eloy Vargas in leaving the program.
