Shaedon Sharpe burst onto the scene prior to the 2020-21 high school season as he led the Nike EYBL in scoring. After being unranked a sizable portion of his high school days, Sharpe went from a college hopeful to a consensus five-star prospect.
But now, he can choose to never even play a full NCAA season. On Thursday, ESPN broke the news that Sharpe can apply for the 2022 NBA draft as an early-entry candidate.
Draft rules stipulate that an entrant must turn 19 during the calendar year of the draft and one season must have past since his high school graduation.
