On Wednesday, another Kentucky Wildcat made a draft decision when Alex Poythress decided to return for his junior season.

That leave Andrew and Aaron Harrison as two Wildcats who still need to make a decision about the NBA.

According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, the Harrison twins will likely be in the D-League if they declare for the draft.

"They are both borderline first round picks right now. Ditto for Dakari Johnson. All of them have potential to go much higher in 2015 if they return to school and if they improve. I think the Harrison twins, especially, have a lot to gain by returning. I don’t think Kentucky’s incoming guards (Devin Booker &Tyler Ulis) could beat them out of a starting job. With Cauley-Stein and Poythress returning and Karl Towns and Trey Lyles joining the team, there is a chance that they are running the best team in the country next year. If they go to the NBA, they are playing in the D-League. Hard to see how that’s a better option for them. I know they have wanted to declare but the feedback from the NBA has been lukewarm at best. They should return, but hard to predict which way this will end up going."

Andrew Harrison averaged 10.9 points, 4.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game this season while Aaron Harrison put up 13.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

Both project as late first or early second round picks.
