Cincinnati basketball's Keith Williams to enter 2020 NBA Draft

Jarron Cumberland, Trevon Scott and other exiting seniors aren't the only Cincinnati basketball players considering professional options.

Keith Williams could forgo his senior season to turn professional, he announced Friday on Twitter.

“After progressive conversations with my family, coaches and mentors, I’ve decided that I will enter the 2020 NBA Draft with the intent of hiring an agent; however, I will be keeping my options open," Williams said.

The Brooklyn product averaged 12.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game last season and would have been the Bearcats leading returning scorer next season.

"Bearcat Nation, thank you for the past three years,” Williams said.
