Canadian basketball prospect Leonard Miller withdrawing from NBA draft, will sign with G League Ignite

Canadian high school recruit Leonard Miller is withdrawing from the NBA draft and will sign with the NBA's G League Ignite program, he told ESPN.

The NBA draft withdrawal deadline is Monday at 5 p.m. ET, and mostly applies to international players since the NCAA withdrawal deadline for those intending on maintaining college eligibility was June 1.

"My decision to withdraw from this year's draft is based on what's best for my long-term development," Miller said. "With another year of development both on and off the court, I will put myself in an even better position for the 2023 draft.
