Missouri center Jeremiah Tilmon will explore NBA Draft but retain eligibility

Missouri center Jeremiah Tilmon will enter the NBA Draft while retaining his NCAA eligibility.

Tilmon is coming off an improved sophomore season in which he saw his scoring, rebounding, steals, assists all improve in the absence of Jontay Porter, but was still hampered because of fouls. Porter has yet to announce his draft intentions, but must do so by the end of the week.

“It’s always been a dream of mine since I started playing basketball to make it to the NBA,” Tilmon said in a release.
