John Calipari met with Terrence Jones and Brandon Knight last week to discuss the NBA Draft, according to a report by Andy Katz of ESPN.com, and will reportedly meet with them again Monday or Tuesday.

Underclassmen have until April 24 to declare and May 8 to withdraw from the draft. Calipari said the possibility of an NBA lockout could affect their decisions.

Here is an excerpt from Katz’s story:

“They probably need to test the waters and see where they are before they make a decision,” Calipari said. “They have to find out where they would fall. But this [NBA] lockout looms. Normally I would suggest that you’ve got to do this, but if an agent is paying you [during the lockout] then you’re going to have to pay him back and probably with interest.

“I’m not going to influence them — I’m going to give them my opinion,” Calipari added. “These kids have to live with any of these decisions. I don’t want a player coming back if his heart isn’t into it or thought he should have left. Daniel Orton chose to leave [last year]; no one forced him out the door.”

Knight and Jones are ranked the seventh- and 12th-best prospects, respectively, in the 2011 draft class, according to DraftExpress.com. Knight and Jones must also consider the super signing class Calipari is bringing in next year, which Calipari also talks about in Katz’s story.
