Former Kentucky Star Reportedly Works Out For Los Angeles Lakers
Lamont Butler spent the first four seasons of his college basketball career with San Diego State.
He finished his fifth year (last season) with the Kentucky Wildcats.
The 22-year-old averaged 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 49.8% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range in 27 games.
Via B/R Hoops (on December 14, 2024): “Lamont Butler was PERFECT from the field against Louisville 33 PTS
10-10 FG
6-6 3PT

With the NBA Draft coming up next month, Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype reported that Butler has worked out for several teams (including the Los Angeles Lakers).
Via Bill O’Rear (on May 20): “Former Kentucky & San Diego State PG Lamont Butler is busy chasing his NBA dream. Lamont worked out Tuesday in the Pro Day session at the Lakers facility & did well. Overall, Lamont has 12 workouts with NBA teams with the NBA draft coming up on June 25-26. A busy time for Lamont.”
Over five college seasons, Butler had career averages of 8.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 42.8% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range in 158 games.
O’Rear also wrote: “Currently, Lamont Butler isn’t projected to be chosen in the NBA Draft’s two rounds. However, he’s an NBA level defensive player & a strong athlete with a solid all-around skill set. If he impresses at least one NBA team enough during the workouts, that might change his status.”
The Lakers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
They have the 55th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Arkansas women’s basketball blown out by Kentucky in season-ending loss at SEC Tournament | Whole Hog Sports
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
As for the Aggies, the only name on the report is Mackenzie Mgbako, a one-time Kentucky target who remains out for the season after undergoing foot surgery. Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMilan said today that Mgbako will return next season, which would be a big boost for the Aggies before the offseason begins.
