Tyus Battle entered the 2019 NBA Draft process having already undergone evaluation one year before. He declared his Syracuse Orange career finished after three seasons. He departed as one of the great scorers and clutch finishers in program history, and he quickly signed with Roc Nation to begin his professional career.
Battle and Oshae Brissett represent two vastly different prospects. Brissett tested the NBA waters in spite of an inconsistent sophomore season where he struggled to integrate the three into his game. He left the door open, and maintains the option to return to the Orange.
