UConn's Alex Karaban Declares for NBA Draft, Retains NCAA Eligibility

Alex Karaban, UConn forward and key player in recent NCAA championships, opts for NBA draft while maintaining college options.

Alex Karaban, a UConn sophomore, announced his decision to enter the NBA draft but will keep his college eligibility, allowing him to return to UConn if he chooses.
Karaban averaged 13.3 points and about 5 rebounds per game this season, contributing significantly to UConn's back-to-back NCAA titles.
Despite his solid performance, Karaban is projected as a late first-round or second-round pick in the upcoming NBA draft.
Teammates Donovan Clingan and potentially Stephon Castle are also entering the draft, with Castle expected to be a lottery pick.
The NBA draft decision deadline for Karaban is June 16, offering him time to assess his draft stock after the pre-draft combine.
