This afternoon, freshman forward Emmitt Williams announced he would be putting his name in the NBA Draft, becoming the fifth Tiger to leave the program since their season ended.
Williams joins freshman forward Naz Reid, freshman guard Javonte Smart, sophomore guard Tremont Waters, and junior guard Skylar Mays as early entrants to the 2019 NBA Draft.
Senior forward Kavell Bigby-Williams is also graduating this year, meaning all six of LSU’s leading scorers will not be on the team next season.
After refusing cooperation with the school and the NCAA, Will Wade is expected to meet with officials from both parties tomorrow.
