It may be all about the transfer portal right now but the Zags are more patiently waiting to find out if Malachi Smith and/or Anton Watson want to come back to Spokane for more go. Both have one more year of extra NCAA eligibility but put their names in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Smith declared for the 2023 NBA Draft with the intention of maintaining his college eligibility. Contrary to reports, Smith’s agent confirmed the guard did not declare for the 2021 draft, making him eligible to come back to school since he didn’t put his name in a total of three times.
