Shaedon Sharpe officially keeping his name in NBA Draft, will not return to UK

The curious case of Shaedon Sharpe has officially come to an end.

The former 5-star prospect will remain in the 2022 NBA Draft pool.

First and foremost, through God’s blessings, it has been a privilege to attend the University of Kentucky.

Thank you #BBN for your support during my time with @kentuckymbb - With the positive feedback I’ve received I will be remaining in the NBA Draft.— Shaedon Sharpe (@ShaedonSharpe) June 1, 2022

Despite never playing a single minute of collegiate basketball, Sharpe is still projected to be a high lottery selection in June’s draft, with several NBA mock drafts even including him in their top five.
