The 2022 NBA Draft just got a little deeper with reports surfacing that Shaedon Sharpe, one of the most buzzed about prospects for the past year is forgoing his college eligibility and will stay in the NBA Draft despite never playing a minute for the University of Kentucky.
Sharpe’s eligibility requires final approval from the NBA since he graduated high school in May 2021. He was the No. 1 prospect in the 2022 draft class and is considered a lock for a top-10 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. While he has no college tape to lean on and hasn’t played organized basketball in quite a year, Sharpe could rise even higher with the upcoming draft shallow with elite prospects and plenty of question marks surrounding players vying to be a top-5 selection.
