Syracuse Basketball: Tyus Battle signs with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports

Tyus Battle, the 6-foot-6 wing who recently said he would leave the Syracuse basketball squad after his junior campaign to pursue a professional career, has signed with Roc Nation Sports, which is a division of famed musician and entrepreneur Jay-Z’s Roc Nation entity. Battle revealed this development via his Twitter page.

The 2019 NBA Draft will take place on June 20. At this juncture, the majority of industry experts don’t have Battle positioned in their mock drafts, although it’s certainly feasible that he could slide into the late second round, or hopefully even higher than that.
