LEXINGTON, Ky. — Keion Brooks plans to enter his name in this year's NBA draft while retaining the option of playing for Kentucky next season, the three-year UK player posted on social media Monday.
Brooks does not plan to hire an agent, although he can sign with an NCAA-certified agent to help navigate the pre-draft process and still play for Kentucky next season, the school said in a news release.
The NCAA deadline for withdrawing from this year's NBA draft is 11:59 p.m. June 1.
