Jared Butler Announces He’s Headed to the NBA

Jared Butler, unanimous First Team All-American and Most Outstanding Player of the 2021 Final Four, announced on Twitter and Instagram that he’s going pro.

Butler is the best player in Baylor history. He earned his degree and a national title. So it’s the right time to go.

Butler is projected as a mid-to-late first round pick on most mock drafts. We’ll do some draft breakdowns before the NBA Draft, which is July 29.
