Mike Hopkins says he expects UW’s Jaylen Nowell to ‘test the waters’ with NBA

Of course nothing is official until Jaylen Nowell announces his decision, but Mike Hopkins believes the Husky basketball star will “test the waters” and explore his NBA draft potential.

“I’m sure Jaylen will test the waters,” the Washington coach said Tuesday during an interview with KJR-radio. “He’s an NBA caliber-player. He’s an incredible kid.

“My goal with Jaylen is to obviously be able to give him the information. With information you can make great decisions. He’s earned an opportunity to test the waters, I’m sure.”
