Kansas guard Quentin Grimes has withdrawn from the 2019 NBA draft but intends to enter the transfer portal, Jayhawks coach Bill Self announced Wednesday.
Grimes started in all 36 games for Kansas last season as a freshman. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 27.4 minutes per game.
“We’ve all enjoyed coaching Quentin this past year and certainly appreciate his efforts,” Self said in a release. “We initially anticipated him staying in the draft but he and his family decided to return to college but not return to the University of Kansas.
