After Kentucky forward PJ Washington announced he would be putting his name in the NBA Draft this morning, freshman point guard Ashton Hagans turned around and let the Big Blue Nation know he was back for round two.
The decision itself wasn’t shocking, as the 6-foot-3 guard out of Cartersville, GA was seen as a consensus late-second to undrafted prospect in the upcoming 2019 NBA Draft. The timing, however, did come as a bit of a surprise, as Hagans opted to not even explore the draft process to receive feedback and work out for teams.
Why? Because he knew exactly where he wanted to be as a basketball player, and he’s just not there yet.
