Mizzou's Tilmon will test NBA draft stock, could return for junior year

Missouri sophomore center Jeremiah Tilmon will make himself available for this summer’s NBA draft and will have until late next month to decide if he’s returning to school for his junior season.

"Jeremiah has a chance to take advantage of a valuable opportunity and gather information through the process to help him moving forward," Mizzou coach Cuonzo Martin said. "We fully support him using the resources available and we'll assist him in any way we can."

The 6-10 East St. Louis native is coming off an up and down sophomore season that saw him continue to struggle with fouls and turnovers, though his scoring and rebounding numbers both improved from his freshman year.
