UConn junior guard Andre Jackson Jr. — an immense part of the Huskies’ run to the national championship — plans to remain in the June NBA draft.
Jackson is one of the early entry candidates who had until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday to make a decision on whether to remain in the draft or return to college basketball.
He is on team draft boards beginning in the mid-20s and is expected to be selected anywhere from there through the early second round.
