Kentucky freshman wing Shaedon Sharpe, a projected top-1o lottery prospect, will forgo his academic eligibility and remain in the 2022 NBA draft, he announced today (Twitter link).
“First and foremost, through God’s blessings, it has been a privilege to attend the University of Kentucky,” Sharpe wrote. “Thank you #BBN for your support during my time with [Kentucky]… With the positive feedback I’ve received I will be remaining in the NBA Draft.”
Expecting to play for the Wildcats during the 2022/23 NCAA season, Sharpe first enrolled in Kentucky during the spring semester of the 2021/22 school year. After it became clear that he would be a high-level pick in the 2022 draft, the 6’6″ prospect initially entered his name into the draft pool in April.
Sharpe is projected as the No. 7 prospect in ESPN’s latest big board.
Great
Knicks may propose this
11 and a top-three protected pick for No. 4, giving the Kings an outside chance at another pick
Then Kings trade both Knicks picks for a good player.
Sharpe and pick for Jaden Ivey?
