(LEARFIELD) – Wisconsin sophomore guard John Blackwell announced Thursday he is declaring for the NBA draft, but he’s maintaining his college eligibility.
The move allows Blackwell to test the NBA waters and see what his draft position might be, but he has until June 15th to withdraw from the draft and utilize his remaining two years of eligibility.
Blackwell did say if he returns to college, he intends to stay in Madison and continue playing for Greg Gard and the Badgers.
However if Blackwell stays in the NBA draft, he’d be the tenth Badger hoops player to leave this offseason either via the transfer portal or graduation.
