Michigan Basketball: Latest buzz on Hunter Dickinson and NBA draft

Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

Hunter Dickinson caused a stir earlier this week among Michigan basketball fans as he declared the 2021 NBA draft. Here’s the latest on his decision.

Following the Michigan basketball season, fans probably wouldn’t have been surprised to hear that Hunter Dickinson declared for the 2021 NBA draft.

After all, that’s the norm for most players these days. College players, as long as they hire an NCAA-approved agent, can declare for the draft, get evaluated, and decide to return.

Isaiah Livers, Moritz Wagner, and others did that, and Dickinson took that step earlier this week and while it caused some panic, it was mostly about timing.
