Miami Heat's Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo Part Of Large Contingent Of Kentucky Wildcats In NBA Playoffs

Fifteen former Kentucky Wildcats are playing in the NBA postseason

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are members of the NBA's biggest fraternity in the NBA playoffs. 

They are two of the former 15 Kentucky Wildcats playing in the postseason. They range from stars suchs as Julius Randle, Karl-Anthony Town and Devin Booker. The bulk of them are key cogs on their respective teams. 

On Saturday, ex-Wildcats De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk led the Sacramento Kings to a victory against the defending champion Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their series. Perhaps Adebayo and Herro can help do the same for the Heat, who take on the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round today at Fiserv Forum.
