Missouri’s Jeremiah Tilmon is dipping his toe in the NBA draft waters and will see whether the reception is better than lukewarm.
The sophomore announced his intentions late Monday morning, roughly an hour after PowerMizzou reported on his plans. “It’s always been a dream of mine since I started playing basketball to make it to the NBA,” the East St. Louis native said in a release. “I want to get everything I can out of this process. I’m excited to learn from it and get the feedback I need.”
While the 6-foot-11 post player improved last season, particularly as a distributor on the low block, he still remains foul prone, isn’t an elite rim protector and hasn’t shown evidence of a face-up game that stretches his range.
