Purdue's Zach Edey Declares for NBA Draft, Keeps College Eligibility

Purdue's star center Zach Edey will enter the 2023 NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility.
Edey is considered a projected first-round pick and was named the 2023 Naismith Men’s College Player of the Year.
Purdue is still expected to be a top team next season even without Edey, thanks to a strong frontcourt and talented guards.
Head coach Matt Painter is looking to rebound Purdue after their early exit from the NCAA Tournament.
Edey's decision gives him the chance to receive feedback from NBA scouts and still return to Purdue if he chooses.
