Kentucky freshman small forward Shaedon Sharpe, a projected top-10 lottery prospect, will forgo his academic eligibility and remain in the 2022 NBA Draft, he announced on Twitter.
“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 next season, Sharpe first enrolled in Kentucky during the spring semester of the 2021-22 school year. After it became clear that the 19-year-old would be a high-level pick in the 2022 draft, the 6-foot-6 prospect initially entered his name into the draft pool in April.
