Ohio State freshman forward Brice Sensabaugh announced he has declared for the 2023 NBA draft with the option to return to school next season.
Sensabaugh was named to the Big Ten All-Freshmen team after averaging 16.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 40.5% shooting from 3-point range. He finished eighth in the conference in scoring and 13th in the country in offensive box plus-minus (plus-7.8).
The Buckeyes relied on Sensabaugh heavily this season. He ranked fourth in the country in usage rate (34.0) and emerged as a strong scorer. He can work from all three levels and boasts great size to play well at the next level at 6 feet, 6 inches and 235 pounds.

Sensabaugh is most commonly projected to be a mid-first-round pick. His decision to keep his eligibility intact is rather surprising considering he seems to be a lock as a first-rounder, but he will have the opportunity to receive feedback from teams during the pre-draft process.
He will have until May 31 to withdraw from the draft and return to college.
