If you count the NBA Developmental League, last year’s 2009-10 Kentucky men’s basketball team has now put six players in the NBA.Former guard Ramon Harris has signed a contract with the National Basketball Developmental League and will play with last year’s NBDL champions and affiliate of the Houston Rockets, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Capitol Sports Management LLC, which represents Harris, announced the deal Monday. “It’s a blessing to have the opportunity to continue playing basketball at a professional level,” Harris said in a release. “My goal is to play the game at its highest level in the NBA and the D-League provides a great opportunity for me to develop my game and be seen by NBA scouts every night.”During Harris’ career at Kentucky, the 6-foot-7 guard/forward averaged 3.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16 minutes per game. Harris’ best year as a Wildcat came during his junior campaign when he averaged 5.5 points and 3.8 rebounds and started in 28 of the 31 games played that season. In his senior season, Harris was a key contributor on a team that featured five NBA first-round draft picks and reached the Elite Eight.
