Ayo Dosunmu not declaring for NBA Draft

He’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

Ayo could’ve tested the waters and declared for the NBA Draft, but he won’t even do that.

Illinois’ All-Big Ten Freshman Ayo Dosunmu announced today that he will not declare for the 2019 NBA Draft today.

He could have entered but not yet hired an agent, which would’ve maintained his amateurism. This would’ve allowed Dosunmu to put his name into the NBA Draft and become eligible to be selected on draft night June 20. He would be able to attend workouts for NBA teams and compete in the NBA Draft Combine, if selected.
