Though the way this year’s NBA Draft will be structured is still unclear, we now know that three Missouri players will be among the names in the draft pool.
On Tuesday, MU revealed Jeremiah Tilmon, Mitchell Smith and Xavier Pinson would test the draft waters while still maintaining their college eligibility. All three will be able to return to college as long as they withdraw their names from the Draft by the June 3 deadline.
“I’m very supportive of all three of them going through this to receive key information from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee and greatly benefit from the process,” head coach Cuonzo Martin said.
