Title: Big East Draft Entrants and Status
Post by: The Equalizer on May 09, 2023, 01:43:10 PM
I haven't seen this compiled in any other thread, so here's the full list of NBA early entrants and current status

14 Big East players declared for the draft. As far as I can tell, no Big East player has yet withdrawn from the draft and announced they are returning to their team, but Cam Whitmore, Colby Jones, Jack Nunge and Jordan Hawkins are forgoing eligibility.  The players eligible t retunr are marked with an asterisk in the list below.

The NBA hasn't announced their Combine invitation list yet, but Sanogo, Jackson, Kaluma, and Prosper have made their own announcements.  I saw the report in another thread that OMax was invited, but I can't find any verification. Tristen Newton of UConn is the only player from the BE on the G-League combine list.

Finally, there are currently two confirmed invitations to work out with specific teams. Qudus Wahab has been invited by Charlotte, and Tristen Newton has been invited by Golden State. 

Butler:
*Manny Bates

UConn:
*Andre Jackson (NBA)
*Adama Sanogo (NBA)
Jordan Hawkins
*Tristen Newton (G-League)

Creighton:
*Arthur Kaluma (NBA)
*Ryan Kalkbrenner
*Trey Alexander

DePaul
*Nick Ogenda

Georgetown
*Qudus Wahab

Marquette
*Oliver-Maxence Prosper (NBA)

Villanova
Cam Whitmore

Xavier:
Colby Jones
Jack Nunge
