Keion Brooks withdrawing from NBA Draft, per report

Well, what do you know.

After reportedly being “all-in” on being part of the 2022 NBA Draft, Keion Brooks Jr. has now decided to return to college for his senior season, according to Jeff Goodman.

Though Brooks has been widely projected to go undrafted if he remained in the draft, he has made it clear that playing in the NBA this fall was his ultimate goal.

However, even if Brooks made an NBA roster, he was going to be paid very little and likely on a non-guaranteed contract, whereas he could potentially make millions of dollars through NIL at many colleges.
