    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Alabama’s Josh Primo will forego his remaining collegiate eligibility and will remain in the 2021 NBA Draft, he announced Thursday morning.

    He is projected as the No. 35 pick in the Draft, per ESPN.com.

    Primo is coming off a freshman season in which he made 19 starts across his 30 games played and averaged 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 22.4 minutes per game. The 18-year-old Toronto, Ontario, native earned SEC All-Freshman honors and was recently named to the SEC First Year Academic Honor Roll.

    “This has been a lifelong dream for Josh and I am extremely excited for him and his family,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said. “He’s been great to coach and I am grateful that they trusted our staff to help prepare him for this moment. Our team had a successful season last year and Josh played a big part in that success. We couldn’t be happier that his hard work is paying off. He is a terrific young man who has been an incredible representative of our program.”

    ESPN first reported the news Wednesday.
