There was a lot of squawking from Syracuse basketball fans, media, and analysts when Tyus Battle decided to forgo his senior season on the hill.
On Monday afternoon Battle signed an NBA contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, who’s laughing?
After spending three record-breaking years on the hill, Battle decided to go pro.
This was the second straight year that Tyus had the opportunity to go through the NBA Draft process. Despite some impressive moments, Battle ultimately went unselected in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Shortly after it was revealed that he signed a contract with the T-Wolves.
