Adama Sanogo, a Star at Uconn, Will Join the NBA Draft
Posted : 18 April 2023
Sanogo, who was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player earlier this month, is still eligible to attend college but is now more interested in remaining in the draft.
"Thank you UConn," Sanogo wrote. "Thank you to the best fans in the country that have supported me from the first day I got to Storrs. Thank you to the incredible support and guidance from Coach Hurley and the staff. They invested the time and energy to making me a better player and person. Most importantly thank you to my family and support system that has always allowed me to focus on reaching my dreams and have sacrificed so much for me.
"I am so excited for the next stop on my journey and proud to announce that I will declare for the 2023 NBA draft and will stay focused on the process and giving myself every chance to hear my name called. I will always cherish my time at UConn and will always be my home away from home."
Sanogo, a 6-foot-9 big man from Mali, was the highlight of UConn's lopsided NCAA tournament run on the way to the team's sixth national title. In six tournament games, he averaged 19.7 points and 9.8 rebounds, with the highlight being 17 points and 10 rebounds in the victory over San Diego State in the championship game.
