Caleb McConnell declares for 2022 NBA Draft, return for final year still possible
Caleb McConnell has declared for the 2022 NBA Draft while maintaining his eligibility for next season.
McConnell took to social media on Monday night to make the announcement. The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year will test the waters of the draft process but could still return for his fifth and final season of eligibility.
This season, McConnell became the first Scarlet Knight in program history to win a major award in the Big Ten this season. He averaged 2.2 steals per contest to lead the conference on the way to his DPOY honor and All-Big Ten Defensive Team nod. McConnell is currently ninth in Rutgers’ history with 150 steals.
