For the second time this offseason, a Washington State big man decided to test the NBA waters as freshman Mouhamed Gueye announced he would join Efe Abogidi in declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft.
This doesn’t mean Gueye’s career at Washington State is finished as he is retaining his eligibility in the process. Going through the NBA Draft process is a smart move for any player with NBA potential as they get valuable feedback and can continue to work on their game. There is also the chance a team likes the player enough to make a draft promise.
