Anthony Davis, M.Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb going pro
Kentucky freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague and sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb will enter their names in this year’s NBA Draft. All five players are projected as first-round picks.
Together, the five led Kentucky to its eighth national championship, a 16-0 mark in league play and the program’s 45th Southeastern Conference championship. UK finished with a 38-2 record, tying the NCAA record for wins in a season.

I don't think Eric Bledsoe started two years ago but Kentucky had five first round picks. Not sure if Daniel Orton started either.
And UNC will have 4/5 of their starting lineup drafted in the 1st round and, if you want to do it this way, Reggie Bullock (the fifth starter) will be a first round pick whenever he comes out.
As for Kentucky this year, I don't see Lamb going in the first round but he may sneak into 25-30 range somewhere. I personally wouldn't take Marquis Teague in the 1st round in a stronger PG draft but this is a weak PG draft so he'll go in the 20s somewhere.
