Alexander, who will turn 21 on May 2, told Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports that he will forgo his remaining college eligibility, ending a three-year run with the Bluejays. He will leave as one of 17 players in program history to score at least 1,000 career points (1,376).
He isn’t projected to be drafted. However, he will be able to improve his draft positioning in team interviews and workouts over the predraft process. He could also be invited to compete in the G League Elite Camp or draft combine next month in Chicago, Illinois.
The 2024 NBA draft will take place June 26-27 in New York City.
