The ex-Wildcats star, who announced his retirement from pro hoops Tuesday, deserves to be first Calipari-era player with retired UK jersey.
Washington selected Wall at No. 1 overall in 2010 after he spent one season with the Kentucky Wildcats. He was part of head coach John Calipari's first recruiting class in 2009. The five-time NBA All-Star's last action in the league came during the 2022-23 campaign when he appeared in 34 games for the LA Clippers.
