Ends up we didn’t have to wait until the very end to find out if Oshae Brissett was returning to the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team after all. The sophomore forward announced that he’ll be staying in the NBA Draft, putting an end to his SU career after two seasons.
Brissett’s original declaration was a bit of a surprise, but he impressed at the G League Elite Camp and earned himself an NBA Draft Combine invite as a result. He looked great the combine in Chicago too, apparently, and that performance gave rise to some mock draft inclusions and an idea that he could wind up selected in the late first or early second round.
