On Wednesday afternoon, the duo of all-conference guards, Alijah Martin and Johnell Davis, withdrew from the 2023 NBA Draft, solidifying their return to FAU, first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
“Together let’s make history again and give NBA personnel no choice but to make Boca Raton a must-visit place to evaluate NBA talent,” read a statement from Martin.
Martin originally declared for the draft while maintaining his college eligibility on April 10, followed by Davis a day later who did the same.
During their process of “testing the waters”, they were reported to have met with several NBA organizations, including the Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago Bulls for Martin, and the Sacramento Kings for Davis.
