Jaden Akins is testing the 2023 NBA draft process.
The Michigan State basketball sophomore guard announced his intention to enter the draft via his Instagram page Friday afternoon. The Farmington native plans to retain his remaining two years of college eligibility, meaning he could return to the Spartans if he withdraws his name by May 31.
“Over my two years at Michigan State it has been an incredible journey,” Akins wrote. “I’ve grown both on and off the court. I’ve developed my skills, while also learning how to overcome adversity. Wearing the Green and White has been a dream come true.
