In a move which was not entirely unexpected, this evening Barry Brown announced that he was declaring himself eligible for the 2018 NBA Draft. The Kansas State Wildcats guard will not be hiring an agent, so this doesn’t mean he’s necessarily leaving Manhattan.
Brown is taking advantage of a recent NCAA change sometimes called the “testing the waters” rule. This allows a player to declare for the draft and benefit from the experience of going through the pre-draft process, then remove themselves from the draft board and return to school without having jeopardized their college eligibility.
